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]
