Half A World Away - R.E.M. 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, here, My head sworn To go it alone, and haul it along And haul it along, and hold it Go it alone, and hold it along Hoo Oh the 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, 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 Hoo Oh this lonely world is wasted Pathetic eyes, high alive Blind to the tide that turns the sea This storm that came up strong It shook the trees, And blew away our fear I couldn't even hear To go it alone, and hold it along, Haul it along, and hold it Go it alone, hold it along, Hoo hoo hoo Go it alone, and hold it along Haul it along, and hold it Blackbirds, backwards, Forwards and fall Hoo hoo 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 Go hoo hoo hoo
