Half a World Away
This could be the saddest dusk ever seen
You turn to a miracle high-alive
My mind is racing as it always will
My hands tired, my heart aches
I'm half a world away, here
My head sworn to go it alone and hold it along
Haul it along and hold it
Go it alone, hold it along
And hold
Oh, the lonely deep sit hollow
I'm half a world, half the world away
My shoes are gone, my life spent
I had too much to drink
I didn't think, and I didn't think of you
I guess that's all I needed
To go it alone and hold it along
Haul it along and hold it
Blackbirds, backwards, forwards and fall
And hold
Oh, this lonely world is wasted
Pathetic eyes high-alive
Blind to the tide that's turned the sea
The storm, it came up strong
It shook' the trees and blew away our fear
I couldn't even hear
To go it alone and hold it along
Haul it along and hold it
Go it alone and hold it along
And hold
Go it alone and hold it along
Haul it along and hold it
Blackbirds, backwards, forwards and fall
And hold
Oh, this could be the saddest dusk I've ever seen
I turn to a miracle high-alive
My mind is racing as it always will
My hands tired, my heart aches
I'm half a world away
Go...
You turn to a miracle high-alive
My mind is racing as it always will
My hands tired, my heart aches
I'm half a world away, here
My head sworn to go it alone and hold it along
Haul it along and hold it
Go it alone, hold it along
And hold
Oh, the lonely deep sit hollow
I'm half a world, half the world away
My shoes are gone, my life spent
I had too much to drink
I didn't think, and I didn't think of you
I guess that's all I needed
To go it alone and hold it along
Haul it along and hold it
Blackbirds, backwards, forwards and fall
And hold
Oh, this lonely world is wasted
Pathetic eyes high-alive
Blind to the tide that's turned the sea
The storm, it came up strong
It shook' the trees and blew away our fear
I couldn't even hear
To go it alone and hold it along
Haul it along and hold it
Go it alone and hold it along
And hold
Go it alone and hold it along
Haul it along and hold it
Blackbirds, backwards, forwards and fall
And hold
Oh, this could be the saddest dusk I've ever seen
I turn to a miracle high-alive
My mind is racing as it always will
My hands tired, my heart aches
I'm half a world away
Go...
