R.E.M. Half A World Away Lyrics

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 hand's tired, my heart aches
I'm half a world away
Here my head sworn
To go it alone and hold it along
Haul it along and hold it
Go it alone, hold it along
And hold, hold

This lonely deep sit hollow
I'm half a world, half the world away
My shoes are gone, my life spent
I had too much to drink
I didn't think and I didn't think of you
I guess that's all I needed
To go it alone and hold it along
Haul it along and hold it
Blackbirds, backwards, forwards and fall
And hold, hold

Oh, this lonely world is wasted
Pathetic eyes high alive
Blind to the tide that turns the sea
This storm it 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
To go it alone and hold it along
Haul it along to go it alone
And hold it along
Haul it along and hold it
Blackbirds, backwards, forwards, and fall
And hold, hold.

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 hand's tired, my heart aches
I'm half a world away and cold.
