Down on Longboat Key

She sits and stares out the window at the water Every night down at Longy's Cafe All alone she sips her Pina Colada Talking to herself, dreaming time away The story is that a dark haired sailor 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 breeze 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 smelt boats comes 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 imagine 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 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 makes 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 breeze Down on Longboat Key She spends her life in a dream Down on Longboat Key (down on Longboat Key) Down on Longboat Key, yeah, yeah Down on Longboat Key (down on Longboat) Where the island sand meets the gulf stream breeze Down on Longboat Key (down on Longboat Key) Down on Longboat Key, yeah, yeah Down on Longboat Key
