John Prine
Long Monday
You and me, sitting in the back of my memory
Like a honey bee buzzing 'round a glass of sweet Chablis
While the radio's on, the windows rolled up and my mind's rolled down
Headlights shining like silver moons rolling on the ground

We made love in every way love can be made
And we made time to look like time could never fade
Friday night, we both made the guitar hum
And Saturday made Sunday feel like it would never come

It's gonna be a long Monday
Sitting all alone on a mountain by a river that has no end
It's gonna be a long Monday
Stuck like the tick of a clock that's come unwound again

Heart to heart, soul to soul, and cheek to cheek
Yeah come on, baby, give me a kiss that'll last all week
Well the thought of you leaving again, it brings me down
But the promise of your sweet love brings me around

It's gonna be a long Monday
Sitting all alone on a mountain by a river that has no end
It's gonna be a long Monday
Stuck like the tick of a clock that's come unwound again

It's gonna be a long Monday
Sitting all alone on a mountain by a river that has no end
It's gonna be a long Monday
Stuck like the tick of a clock that's come unwound again
And again
