half a world away

you're half a world away

standing next to me

it seems that everyday

i'm losing you almost invisibly

though you are near

i can't reach that far

across to where you are

and so you stay. just half a world away

and i would cross

the universe for you

what good would it do

if you weren't even there?

tall you return

until your way is clear

i will be here. not half a world away

you're half a world away

and no one is there to blame

if love outlives its day

and turns into an ember from a flame

i love you as before

till worlds will be no more

till i can find a way

to where you stay

just half a world away
