Half A World Away - Live From Into The Night On BBC Radio 1 / 1991

[Count-In]

One, two, three

One, two, three

[Intro]

This could be the saddest dusk

Ever seen

To turn to a miracle

High-alive

My mind is racing

As it always will

My hand's tired, my heart aches

I'm half a world away, here

My head, sworn

[Chorus]

To go it alone

And hold it along

Haul it along, and hold it

Go it alone

And hold it along and hold

[Bridge]

Oh, this lonely deep sit hollow

Half a world

Half a world away

My shoes are gone

My life spent

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

Blackbirds, backwards

Forwards and fall and hold

[Bridge]

Oh, world is wasted

Pathetic eyes

High-alive

Blind the tide that's turned the sea

This storm, it came up strong

It shook the trees and blew away our fear

I couldn't even hear

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

Oh, and this could be the saddest dusk

Ever seen

To turn to a miracle

High-alive

My mind is racing

As it always will

My hand's tired, my heart aches

I'm half a world away

To go...
