Halfway Home (Remastered)

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.

Oh cause 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

Oh oh, 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 that 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 that I'm home.
