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
