This could be the saddest dusk I've ever seen
turn to a miracle, high alive.
My mind is racing, as it always will.
My hands tired, my heart aches.
I'm half a world away here, my head sworn to go it alone,
and hold it along, haul it along and hold it.
Go it alone, and hold it along. Oh................
Oh lonely deep sit hollow.
Half a world, half a world away.
My shoes are gone, my life spent.
I've had too much to drink.
I didn't think, I didn't think of you.
I guess that's all I need-ed.
To go it alone, and hold it along, haul it along, and hold it.
Backwards, blackbirds, forwards and fall.
Oh lonely world is wasted.
Pathetic eyes, high alive.
Blind to the tide that turns the sea.
This storm it came up strong.
It shook the trees and blew away our fear.
I couldn't even hear.
To go it alone, and hold it along, haul it along, and hold it.
Go it alone, and hold it along. Oh................
Go it alone, and hold it along, haul it along, and hold it.
Blackbirds, backwards, forwards and fall.
Oh.............. Oh,
this could be the saddest dusk
I ever seen turn to a miracle, high alive.
My mind is racing, as it al--ways will.
My hands tired, my heart aches.
I'm half a world a - way.
