Half a life

Thank you for the streetlights, thank you for the signposts,
Thank you for the taxis that take me home to her,
Thank you for the skin, the smooth warm skin on the backs of her thighs.

Thank you for the sunlight that makes my eyes so tired,
Thank you for the sweat that trickles down her neck.
Thank you for for my sweetheart, life without my sweetheart is half a life.

It's half a life, It's half a life.
Life without my sweetheart is only half a life

When you were a pauper, when you were a cripple.
Thought you had a tough time, now you've got it good.
Watch her in the morning, watch her in the evening,
For all your life.
