Honeymoon Express
Wendy & Lisa Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I get so lonely when I think of you
I get the feeling our love is never new
We watched each other going many different ways

Come with me let's meet at the station
Where we first started
Then we make love, life in the world
Seems like we're living on rainbows

Take a ride
On the Honeymoon Express
Take a ride
On the Honeymoon Express

You're dreaming of me, I am dreaming of you
How long will it be till the dreaming is through?
Take me now let's go for a ride

Come with me let's meet at the station
Where we first started
Then we make love, life in the world
Seems like we're living on rainbows

Take a ride
On the Honeymoon Express
Take a ride
On the Honeymoon Express

Come with me let's meet at the station
Where we first started
Then we make love, life in the world
Seems like we're living on rainbows

Take a ride
On the Honeymoon Express
Take a ride

Take a ride

Take a ride
On the Honeymoon Express

Take a ride
On the Honeymoon Express




Take a ride
On the Honeymoon Express

I'm a musician and the drums have a great beat and that bass line is incredible. Wendy is a killer musician. A great song that I missed in the '80's.

@Lync1111

I completely agree with you. That baseline speaks incredible imagination as it shifts
.I play all of these instruments myself and enjoy the composition

@jjzel69

Will never stop loving them. Wendy is such eye candy in this one.

@funkkidmusic301

this whole album is just amazing

@robinrainey7691

I got their CDs when they were released and their music is fire. So underrated.

@cliphound80

😎🎹🎸💜💜💜💜

@blackamerican40

Love this song!! So groovy, haunting, sexual, erotic, and just plain sentual!! Wendy and Lisa were on top of their game with this gem.

@mantronikk

Very well said.

@wendileona

I've been a fan since since the album dropped, I describe it as a sort of Romantic LA Funk as its got the delicate sensibilities of Parade and a mixture of LA light jazz (whatever that is!) with a driving rock beat. It just for me, screams of the eclectic side of late 80's LA (my experience). A gorgeous song, lush and just soaringly uplifting, so getaway romantic! Think sunsets with the love of your life!

@PeterRipley-Google

Absolutely an example of the best written, best musicianship, best produced music ever. If you don't know Wendy & Lisa they are of Prince fame, under their name. Absolutely some of the best rock to be published, they are Wendy Melvoin and Lisa Coleman. I simply cannot say enough about the immense song writing and musicianship of this duo. They went into music for film and television and have won an Emmy Award, I think because they were never properly promoted by their label. If you want to hear some of the most simply beautiful music ever to be recorded.
