|
She sits and stares out the window at the water |
|
Every night down at .... |
|
Cafe' All alone she sips her pina colada |
|
Talking to herself, dreaming 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 |
|
Chorus: Down on |
|
Longboat Key |
|
Where the island sand meet 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 snugboats 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 looking 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 |
|
Chorus: Down on |
|
Longboat Key |
|
Where the island sand meet the |
|
Gulf Stream breeze |
|
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 |
|
Chorus: Down on |
|
Longboat Key |
|
Where the island sand meet the |
|
Gulf Stream breeze |
|
Down on Longboat |
|
Key She spends her life in a dream |
|
On Longboat |
|
Key Down on |
|
Longboat Key |
|
Down on Longboat |
|
Key. |
