Halfway Home |
| I’ve got a quarter in my pocket of an apple left to eat: |
| It’s a wonder that I’m standing on my own two feet. |
| In the shadow of a thousand veiled Victorian goodbyes |
| Jewels of litter come to greet me, and it stings my eyes. |
| Oh it burns like a fire and it pulls me through- |
| We are parted by desire for the strange and new. |
| I’ve got a quarter in my pocket, I’m advancing to the booth, |
| I am picking up and praying that I talk to you. |
| And now, I’m halfway home, I’m at the corner of our street, |
| Would you like to come and meet me? |
| Now that I am halfway home |
| Man, I never felt so lonely- |
| I long for you to hold me now I’m home. |
| Somedays, there was comfort as a stranger far from home |
| Sometimes, a hunger and a longing not to be alone. |
| Imagining emotion in each man that I would meet- |
| But it was physics, and subtraction, to an ancient beat. |
| Oh, it burned like a fire and I wore it so… |
| We are tied up in desire and we won’t let go. |
| Well, I’ve no quarter in my pocket of no apple left to eat; |
| I am running, I am running and I can’t feel my feet. |
| And now, I’m halfway home, I’m at the corner of our street, |
| Would you like to come and meet me? |
| Now that I’m halfway home |
| Man, I never felt so lonely- |
| I long for you to hold me now I’m home |
| Now I’m home, home is where I wanna be, |
| Now I’m home, home is where I’m gonna be. |
| Past the church and past the steeple, |
| Past the sad and lonely people, |
| Past the old school on the avenue, |
| I am running, I am running… |
| And now, I’m halfway home, I’m at the corner of our street, |
| Would you like to co9me and meet me Now that I’m halfway home |
| Man, I never felt so lonely- |
| I long for you to hold me now I’m home. |
