Half The World Away
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Walk outside in fifties frozen lakes.
Walk outside man, hey I think I'll wait.
And half the world and half the world away. Ay.
Drift through dreams and drift you in my head.
And watch your eyelids, watch them while in bed.
And half the world and half the world away. Ay.
So you don't want me.
You think it fell down great boy.
You think it fell down fine.
So you don't want me.
You think it fell down great boy.
You think it fell down fine.
Sleep though dreams and drift you in my world.
And when my legs get tired, I think I'll twirl.
And half the world and half the world away. Ay.
So you don't want me.
You think it fell down great boy.
You think it fell down fine.
So you don't want me.
You think it fell down great boy.
You think it fell down fine.
Walk outside in fifties frozen lakes.
And watch your eyelids, watch them til you wake.
And half the world and half the world away. Ay
