| [00:24.63] |
I've got a quarter in my pocket of an apple left to eat: |
| [00:30.95] |
It's a wonder that I'm standing on my own two feet. |
| [00:37.22] |
In the shadow of a thousand veiled Victorian goodbyes |
| [00:43.33] |
Jewels of litter come to greet me, and it stings my eyes. |
| [00:49.18] |
Oh it burns like a fire and it pulls me through- |
| [00:55.23] |
We are parted by desire for the strange and new. |
| [01:01.29] |
I've got a quarter in my pocket, I'm advancing to the booth, |
| [01:07.21] |
I am picking up and praying that I talk to you. |
| [01:11.75] |
|
| [01:14.01] |
And now, I'm halfway home, I'm at the corner of our street, |
| [01:22.53] |
Would you like to come and meet me? |
| [01:26.28] |
Now that I am halfway home |
| [01:32.26] |
Man, I never felt so lonely- |
| [01:35.24] |
I long for you to hold me now I'm home. |
| [01:40.16] |
|
| [01:50.64] |
Somedays, there was comfort as a stranger far from home |
| [01:56.04] |
Sometimes, a hunger and a longing not to be alone. |
| [02:02.54] |
Imagining emotion in each man that I would meet- |
| [02:07.83] |
But it was physics, and subtraction, to an ancient beat. |
| [02:14.71] |
Oh, it burned like a fire and I wore it so... |
| [02:20.38] |
We are tied up in desire and we won't let go. |
| [02:26.70] |
Well, I've no quarter in my pocket of no apple left to eat; |
| [02:30.73] |
I am running, I am running and I can't feel my feet. |
| [02:37.89] |
|
| [02:38.96] |
And now, I'm halfway home, I'm at the corner of our street, |
| [02:47.60] |
Would you like to come and meet me? |
| [02:50.92] |
Now that I'm halfway home |
| [02:56.89] |
Man, I never felt so lonely- |
| [03:00.48] |
I long for you to hold me now I'm home |
| [03:07.58] |
|
| [03:07.82] |
Now I'm home, home is where I wanna be, |
| [03:09.96] |
Now I'm home, home is where I'm gonna be. |
| [03:15.13] |
Past the church and past the steeple, |
| [03:17.88] |
Past the sad and lonely people, |
| [03:21.13] |
Past the old school on the avenue, |
| [03:24.75] |
I am running, I am running... |
| [03:26.83] |
|
| [03:27.96] |
And now, I'm halfway home, I'm at the corner of our street, |
| [03:37.63] |
Would you like to co9me and meet me |
| [03:41.32] |
Now that I'm halfway home |
| [03:46.22] |
Man, I never felt so lonely- |
| [03:49.65] |
I long for you to hold me now I'm home. |
| [03:51.82] |
