Half A World Away (Unplugged, Live 1991)

[Intro, spoken] Howdy [Verse 1] This could be the saddest dusk I've ever seen To 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 [Chorus] Sworn to go it alone and hold it along Haul it along and hold it Go it alone, and hold it along And hold [Verse 2] Oh, this lonely deep-sit hollow Half a world, half a world away My shoes are gone, my life spent I've had too much to drink I didn't think, and I didn’t think of you I guess that's all I needed [Chorus] To go it alone and hold it along Haul it along and hold it Go it alone, and hold it along And hold [Verse 3] Oh, this lonely world is wasted Pathetic eyes, high-alive Blind, the eye that turned to see The storm, it came up strong It shook the trees and blew away our fear I couldn't еven hear [Chorus] To go it alone, hold it along Haul it along and hold it Go it alonе 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 [Verse 1] Oh, this could be the saddest dusk I've ever seen To 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 [Outro, spoken] Thanks Thanks a lot, here we are, it's unplugged This is Mike Mills, Bill Berry, Peter Buck, Peter Holsapple I'm Michael Stipe, we are R.E.M Here we go, here's a song
