Halfway Home

Lyrics

I get tired of the sun, relentless and burning I get tired of the song, the metronome and yearning I get tired of the day, forgetting and remembering I get tired of me, tired of me, tired of me Folding and Unfolding Folding and Unfolding There is a place I go To be not bothered or bother And in the clandestine glow With just my secrets to surrender Well I am just a child, a child of nature And it's the raven's wing As it hangs above me And no fourth finger ring That keeps the other hand free Keeps the other hand free I think we're halfway home I can bring you but I can't show you How the light touches your cold shoulder How the tide reaches the hooded corner Let it out babe, it's gonna kill you To have a heart that big, it's gonna will you Up to the front of the circus Leave the armor and fear with the cynics Born from both but which is neither It takes a couple little streams to make a river Mm something clear and ephemeral Mm something near and terrestrial My brothers and my sister My brothers and my sister
