Down On Longboat Key

Alabama

Transposer:

[Intro] [Verse] She sits and stares out the window at the water Every night down at Longy’s Cafe All alone she sips her pina colada Talkin’ to herself dreamin’ time away [Verse] 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 [Chorus] Do...wn on Longboat Key Where the island sand meets the Gulf Stream breeze Do...wn on Longboat Key She spends her life in a dream on Longboat Key Do...wn on Longboat Key Do...wn on Longboat Key [Verse] Each afternoon as the shrimp 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 [Verse] 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 [Chorus] Do...wn on Longboat Key Where the island sand meets the Gulf Stream breeze Do...wn on Longboat Key She spends her life in a dream on Longboat Key Do...wn on Longboat Key Do...wn on Longboat Key........ [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] Do...wn on Longboat Key Where the island sand meets the Gulf Stream breeze Do...wn on Longboat Key She spends her life in a dream..... Do...wn on Longboat Key Do...wn on Longboat Key Do...wn on Longboat Key Where the island sand meets the Gulf Stream breeze Do...wn on Longboat Key Do...wn on Longboat Key

La chanson évoque l'histoire d'une femme qui, chaque soir, se retrouve seule à admirer la mer depuis un café au bord de la plage. Elle se remémore un marin au passé, celui qui lui a volé son cœur en lui promettant de revenir et de lui faire découvrir le monde. Malheureusement, les années passent, et malgré son attente, il n'est jamais revenu. Alors qu'elle observe les pêcheurs rentrant au port, ses pensées se perdent dans ses rêves et ses souvenirs, transformant les larmes en souvenirs enchâssés dans l'azur des vagues. Dans ce cadre idyllique de Longboat Key, la femme vit dans une sorte de nostalgie, piégée entre son amour perdu et les jeunes marins qui tentent de la séduire. Mais son cœur appartient déjà à celui qui lui a fait faire tant de promesses. La chanson peint un tableau de désir, de rêves et d'un amour inachevé, le temps s'écoulant sans qu'elle ne puisse vraiment tourner la page.
