Half Time Man

He promised her a walk and a poke a day

Oh, if she would come and stay

But she has a life in another place,

Smiles for another face

So she’s his part time lover,

Seasonal partner, loving while they can

It’s human nature that brings them together

Don’t have to understand,

Now he’s her half time man

And a happy man

She’s got more than she needs

And it leaves her feeling blue

She always needs to get away

Her life’s a mystery, to the people that care

But they don’t pry, no they don’t dare

So she’s his part time lover,

Seasonal partner, loving while they can

It’s human nature that brings them together

Don’t have to understand,

Now he’s her half time man

And a happy man

Openly honestly love has no flaws,

It’s the people that judge that get it all wrong

They’re finding a place where they can belong,

Happily playing, but not for too long, then so long

A sailor deep at heart, a boat in every port

And he gets by anyway he can

His life's and open book, got a story to share

But loneliness he cannot bear

So she’s his part time lover,

Seasonal partner, loving while they can

It’s human nature that brings them together

Don’t have to understand,

Now he’s her half time man

And a happy man

Yeah he’s her half time man

And a happy man
