Long Island Sound
I was drinking alone again last night
I was thinking about you
Skipping stones and breaking bones
There was much ado
Nothing eased my weary heart
My thoughts they were unkind
Now all I've got is this empty glass
And heartache on my mind
Will the sun come up tomorrow
No one can really say
You can beg and you can borrow
But you'll just give it away
You can find me on the kitchen floor
I'm curled up in front of the stove
That's where I fell when I heard the news
When it hit me like a slamming door
Now all the faults and all the caveats
They seemed less than they once were
'Cause there I sat with the spoons and pots
And it was different than before
Will the sun come up tomorrow
No one can really say
You can beg and you can borrow
But they'll just take it away
It was a chilly day in a rocky bay
With the waves, the sand, your bare feet
The crushing weight of Long Island Sound
Took my baby off to sleep
Will the sun come up tomorrow
That's a question for another day
Yeah we begged, we stole, we borrowed
But it all, it all, it all just washed away
I was thinking alone again
I was drinking about you
I was thinking about you
Skipping stones and breaking bones
There was much ado
Nothing eased my weary heart
My thoughts they were unkind
Now all I've got is this empty glass
And heartache on my mind
Will the sun come up tomorrow
No one can really say
You can beg and you can borrow
But you'll just give it away
You can find me on the kitchen floor
I'm curled up in front of the stove
That's where I fell when I heard the news
When it hit me like a slamming door
Now all the faults and all the caveats
They seemed less than they once were
'Cause there I sat with the spoons and pots
And it was different than before
Will the sun come up tomorrow
No one can really say
You can beg and you can borrow
But they'll just take it away
It was a chilly day in a rocky bay
With the waves, the sand, your bare feet
The crushing weight of Long Island Sound
Took my baby off to sleep
Will the sun come up tomorrow
That's a question for another day
Yeah we begged, we stole, we borrowed
But it all, it all, it all just washed away
I was thinking alone again
I was drinking about you
