Half The Way - Crystal Gayle

Turn your head around just to see the long way down Catch a glimpse of the way that I'm feeling Occupy your head and heart You always had my sense of screaming Take a look at this childlike dreaming You pick me out of the mess I'm in You make me feel 6 feet 10 Half way from this world of mine Half way to your state of mind Half way from this world of mine Half way and I'm half way home You always had the book on me Had the literacy to read me I can never be anything more Than the space between your lines Your touch, your taste, your beautiful hair And the way you hold that come-back stare I can't be anything without you girl Half way from this world of mine Half way to your state of mind Half way from this world of mine Half way and I'm half way home Oh, when it all comes down around me Just know that I'm running just to make you mine Keep your head up above this dirty water And pretty soon we'll be swimming in the open tide Don't remember how it seems, just remember how it feels Half way from this world of mine Half way to your state of mind Half way from this world of mine Half way and I'm half way home

They call me Blue eyed Dan a shell of a man but I was half way home I didn't seem to have much of a plan but I was half way home I said I was coming back to stay But a lot of things can happen along the way I was half way home You were waiting on the southbound train I was half way home But the platform was empty as it rolled away, half way home The hills and the valleys all looked the same And I met someone who remembered my name I was half way home, I was half way home Down by the river saying "Stand and deliver!" I was half way home Dirty thirty eyes like a birdie half way home I jumped up to reach the top But the law kept coming and bagged the lot I was halfway home halfway home My heart starts pumping when I think of your, half way home You're never gonna look into those eyes of blue, I was half way home Cross the street, open the door Nobody here really cares anymore Half way home, I was half way home Heart starts pumping, hearts start pumping Half way home Half way home Heart starts pumping, hearts start pumping I was half way home Yeah, I was half way home I was half way home Heart starts pumping, hearts start pumping Half way home Half way home
