Half A World Away - R.E.M.

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, here in my head

And I had sworn to go it alone and hold it along

And haul it along and hold it

Go it alone and hold it along

And hold

Oh, lonely deeps and hollows

Are half a world, half a world away

My shoes are gone, my life is spent

I had too much to drink

I didn’t think, I didn’t think of you

I guess that’s all I needed

To go it alone and hold it along

And haul it along and hold it

Blackbirds, backwards, forwards and fall

And hold

Oh, this lonely world is wasted

Pathetic eyes, high-alive

Blind eye that turns to see

The storm it came up strong

It shook the trees and blew away our fear

I couldn’t leave it here

To go it alone, 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

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 to go
