Movie Date

[Verse 1]
Each time we try to have a movie date dear
Each time we try to watch some kind of flick
It's hardly half an hour that I wait, dear
Before your tired head drops like a brick

[Verse 2]
Does Bill Murray's Day repeat forever?
Does Humphrey Bogart ever find the gold?
Will Annie Hall and Woody stay together?
I learn all these things myself while you're out cold

[Chorus]
Because that head starts swinging with that same old motion
And it's hardly even half past nine o'clock
Soon you're bobbing far away out on the ocean
And I'm left lonely watching movies on the dock

[Verse 3]
To feel my loved one's head rest on my shoulder
Can be a cozy feeling to be sure
But only when we're sharing feeling closer
Not when you've slipped a million miles from shore

[Verse 4]
Why must your head turn mighty as an anvil?
When movie watching hour comes around
It just becomes so heavy and substantial
It rolls and rolls and then it crashes down

[Chorus]
'Cause that head starts swinging with that same old motion
And it's hardly even half past nine o'clock
Soon you're bobbing far away out on the ocean
And I'm left lonely watching movies on the dock

[Verse 5]
It used to be we'd rarely get through movies
'Cause loving passion swept away our patience
Epics or shorts, we still couldn't get through these
We'd miss the end, whatever their durations

[Verse 6]
Till with more time spent at work and less for kisses
I thought at least we'd now watch movies till the end
But sad to say, that's still the part she misses
I guess we wouldn't even get through them just as friends

[Verse 7]
We love to be together, that's for certain
There's deep communication in our hearts
But when each morning we discuss Hitchcock or Bergman
We only talk about the way each movie starts

[Chorus]
'Cause that head starts swinging with that same old motion
And it's hardly even half past nine o'clock
Soon you're bobbing far away out on the ocean
And I'm left lonely watching movies on the dock
