Love Affair - Jamie Webster

As he looks out across the room
She knows he can see her standing there
With all the substances consumed;
He senses it's his time for chancing her
So he walks over and swears
"Lady, if you let me take your hand
I promise you I'll never let go"
She's open to agree with one demand:
Tonight she wants to see the space show

So then he starts to roll another cigarette
But he's too f_cked to stick it
And slurs, "Girl if it's the stars you want
Then I've just the ticket"
Pulls her a biscuit out of the pack
And then they join at the hand and run out of the back
Go to places they've not been
See all the things that they wish they'd seen

And pirouette all over town like a couple of misfit lovers
Share a bottle of wine and a fire with a couple of homeless brothers
Throw their hats at all the buskers as they burst into the night
And hop and skip and tip right up 'til the pale red morning light

And pirouette all over town like a couple of misfit lovers
Share a bottle of wine and a fire with a couple of homeless brothers
Throw their hats at all the buskers as they burst into the night
And hop and skip and tip right up 'til the pale red morning light

Nine in the morning comes around
The high starts to go the other way
The soles of their shoes can't leave the ground
They're both running out of things to say
It's time to call it a day
Starting to feel like old spare parts
An Uber to get them out of there
Is this the ending of the start?
Or is it just a one night love affair?
