Wrong End of Love

Working On the Wrong End Of Love
(Jim Patton)

He met her for breakfast at the Honeybee
Out on Ritchie Highway
She just ordered coffee, black,
He didn’t touch his eggs
She kept looking at her watch
While he was studying at her face
Working on the wrong end of love

He thinks of how they started
All the laughs they shared
While she thinks about the dreams that died
Or ended up nowhere
They wonder how they got here
And why life is so unfair
Working on the wrong end of love

Like a condemned man eating his last meal
Everything’s so bright; everything’s unreal
While she can’t even remember how she used to feel

He paid the check, left a dollar tip,
She was already out the door
He caught up with her by her Dodge
Outside the High’s Convenience store
He talked like he thought he could change her mind
If he talked a couple minutes more
Working on the wrong end of love
