Half-Hearted Love Affair

Soft falls the rain down on Anderson's Lane
As the afternoon draws to a close
I'm catching a train to the airport again in an hour
Turning to face me, avoids an embrace
As she combs a stray hair from her eye
She stares at the ground and it's all I can do not to cry

She says "I'm over here and you're over there
And our part-time relationship hangs in mid-air
And I've had enough of feeling alone for four and a half days a week
So I'm calling time on this half-hearted love affair"

I hear what she's saying, then she turns away
And she takes a few steps down the lane
Statued we stand like we've no more command on each other
Calling her back I'm resigned to the fact
That there's truth in the things that she's said
But it's a cold resignation that something I care for is dead

I say "You're over here and I'm over there
And our part-time relationship hangs in mid-air
I know you get lonely, well I'm lonely too
But it's only for part of the week
Though if you're calling time on this half-hearted love affair
Well then I'll draw a line 'neath this half-hearted love affair"

You can stay over here, and I'll go back there
Any lingering feelings will fade in the air
I know you'll find others and maybe, with luck
They'll be there every day of the week
Yeah I'm hoping you'll find you'll have whole-hearted love affairs
But I'll remember good times from this half-hearted love affair
