Down On Longboat Key Lyrics

She sits and stares out the window at the water Every night down at [Incomprehensible] Cafe All alone she sips her pina colada Talkin' to herself, dreamin' time away
The story is that a dark haired stranger Stole her heart many years ago He promised her, he'd come back and take her Around the world, bring her hills of gold
Down on Longboat Key Where the island sand meets the Gulf Stream Bridge Down on Longboat Key She spends her life in a dream on Longboat Key Down on Longboat Key Down on Longboat Key
Each afternoon as the snug boats come in She runs to meet them down at the pier She sees the fishermen, the nets and the sunset But she don't see him, her eyes fill with tears
She stands there lookin' at the crystal blue water And in the coral she imagines pearls She makes believe, he brought them all the way from China Then the water swirls, the blue-green water swirls
Down on Longboat Key Where the island sand meets the Gulf Stream Bridge Down on Longboat Key She spends her life in a dream on Longboat Key Down on Longboat Key Down on Longboat Key
Young sailors make a play to take her home She says, "No, I'm already taken" Oh, they just laugh when she mentions his name She just keeps on waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting
Down on Longboat Key Where the island sand meets the Gulf Stream Bridge Down on Longboat Key She spends her life in a dream Down on Longboat Key Down on Longboat Key yeah yeah
Down on Longboat Key Where the island sand meets the Gulf Stream Bridge Down on Longboat Key Down on Longboat Key yeah yeah Down on Longboat Key
