Half a World Away (feat. Rodney Crowell)

Every place looks like someplace else

Everyone has a second self

In another town or face

Half the world away

Couples hand in hand I see

Like doppelgangers reminding me

That here I am, and there you stay

Half a world away

Borrowed time runs out too soon

And now the loan is overdue

But it’ll have to go unpaid

Until another day

I say I love you anyhow

But you’ll be sleeping there by no

And it’s already yesterday

Half a world away

The rise and fall of ocean waves

Show no mercy for the shore’s old age

I’ve got the will, but not the way, to harbor us from change

Tomorrow lost its’ voice today

Yesterday spoke up to say

That time can’t be trusted anyway

Half a world away

Life spins off the golden road

Whitens knuckles and rattles bones

Of promises and plans we made

Carefree and unafraid

Uncertainty wears on our minds

Tries to tear unbroken ties

But hearts that bend are hard to break

Half a world away

Uncertainty wears on our minds

But woven through are silver lines

Of faith and hope with love we pray

Half a world away

Half a world away

Half a world away
