I think John Prine and Keith Sykes wrote Long Monday with the possibilities of Tuesdays like tomorrow. We've been out of school for seven days straight and a new storm is brewing for Wednesday. I'm sitting by the river on a favorite old hornbeam figuring it might be a long Tuesday.

the backyard, proof that home is where the heart is

Long Monday
You and me
Sittin' in the back my memory
Like a honey bee
Buzzin' 'round a glass of sweet Chablis
Radio's on
Windows rolled up
And my mind's rolled down
Headlights shining
Like silver moons
Rollin' on the ground
We made love
In every way love can be made
And we made time
Look like time
Could never fade
Friday night
We both made the guitar hum
Saturday made Sunday feel
Like it would never come
Gonna be a long Monday
Sittin' all alone on a mountain
By a river that has no end
Gonna be a long Monday
Stuck like the tick of a clock
That's come unwound again
Soul to soul
Heart to heart
And cheek to cheek
Come on baby
Give me a kiss
That'll last all week
The thought of you leavin' again
Brings me down
The promise of
Your sweet love
Brings me around
It's gonna be a long Monday
Sittin' 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
