Oh my friend loneliness, where have you been? You left me to the lure of the lover who left me alone. Now you come crawling back, and I'll let you in, And we'll slip back into grooves that we cut in ourselves long ago
But there must be a better half, somewhere out there. She lives a better life, a life that shares, Shares with a better man. A man who is there when she calls in the night Who says "Hey, it's alright".
Oh my dear distance, I've met you before. Longing for a lover who's lost on a far distant shore And all my imperfections, are all that remain. And the days when I'd love you and I'd leave you, and you'd wish that I would stay
There must be a better half, somewhere out there She lives a better life, a life that shares Shares with a better man A man who is there when she calls in the night Who says "Hey, it's alright".
I know what she looks like, her face and skin, the smell and the rest I know the feel of her soul, but God help me I just cannot find her address Oh I've how I've tried but now all that is left Is my old friend distance and sweet loneliness
There must be a better half, somewhere out there She lives a better life, a life that she shares Shares with a better man A man who is there when she calls in the night Who says "Hey, it's alright" "Hey, it's alright" "Hey, it's alright"
