Lyrics:

Oh my friend loneliness
Where have you been?
You left me to the lure of
A lover who left me alone

Now you come crawling back
And I'll let you in
We'll slip back into grooves that
We cut in ourselves long ago

But there must be a better half
Somewhere out there
And 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'

Oh my dear distance
I've met you before
In the longing of lover
Who's lost on a far distant shore

And all my imperfections
Are all that remain
On the days when I love you and I leave you
And you wish that I would stay

But there must be a better half
Somewhere out there
And 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'

And I know what she looks like
Her face and her skin
Her smell and the rest
I know the feel of her soul
But, God help me
I just cannot find her address
Oh, how I've tried and now all that is left
Is my old friends distance and sweet loneliness
There must be a better half
Somewhere out there
And 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'
