You're half a world away Standing next to me It seems that every day 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? Till you return and until your way is clear I will be here, not half a world away You're half a world away And no one is to blame If love outlives its day And turns into an ember from a flame I love you as before Till words will be no more, till I can't find a way to where you stay Just half a world away And I would cross the universe for you But what good would it do if you weren't even there? Till you return and until your way is clear I will be here, not half a world away You're half a world away
