R.E.M. "Half A World Away" lyrics

Half A World Away

This could be the saddest dusk I've ever seenTurn to a miracle, high-aliveMy mind is racing, as it always willMy hands tired, my heart achesI'm half a world away hereAnd I had sworn to go it alone, hold it alongAnd haul it along and hold itGo it alone 'n hold it alongHold

Oh, this lonely deeps and holy wayHalf a world, half a world awayMy shoes are gone, my life spentI've had too much to drinkI didn't think, I didn't think of youI guess that's all I neededTo go it alone and hold it alongAnd haul it along and hold itGo it alone 'n hold it alongHold

Oh, this lonely world is wastedPathetic eyes, high-aliveBlind eye that turns to seeThe storm it came up strongIt shook the trees and blew away our fearI couldn't leave it hereTo go it alone, hold it alongHaul it along and hold itGo it alone hold it alongHold

Go it alone and hold it alongHaul it along 'n hold itBlackbirds, backwards, forwards and fallHold

Oh, this could be the saddest dusk I've ever seenTurn to a miracle, high-aliveMy mind is racing, as it always willMy hands tired, my heart achesI'm half a world away to go
