The Long Honeymoon - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)

All the bedroom lights go out

As the neighborhood gets quiet

Everything in heaven and earth

Is almost right

But there's a wife who's wondering where her husband could

Be tonight and when the phone rang only once she

Took a dreadful fright

Little things just seem to undermine her confidence in him

He was late this time last week

Who can she turn to when the chance of coincidence

Is slim

'Cause the baby isn't old enough to speak

There's been a long honeymoon she thought too late and

Spoke too soon

There's no money back guarantee on future happiness

There's been a long honeymoon if he's out on a

Date then her life's in ruins she never thought her

Love could ever be as strong as this

All the movies and the papers feature the murders of

Lonely women

If he isn't in by ten she'll call up her

Best friend why doesn't he come home

Why does her friend's phone keep on ringing maybe she

Should just pretend

There's been a long honeymoon she thought too late and

Spoke too soon

There's no money back guarantee on future happiness

There's been a long honeymoon if he's out on a

Date then her life's in ruins she never thought her

Love could ever be as strong as this

Be as strong as this

Be as strong as this

Be as strong as this

Be as strong as this
