Halfway Home was written in 2008 on a flight home to Virginia.
lyrics
Some are rich from birth
Some cry, “Mother why this troubled earth?”
It’s an answer that I seek
Now I see the truth lies
In the fading light of firefly
Only there, only there I see myself
Somewhere in those eyes
Rests the kind of love
Most won’t recognize
I’ve known it for a long time
Oh darling, I will wait for you
Darling, I can wait
I’m far gone, but I’m halfway home
Darling, you won’t wait alone
I remember returning
Somewhere from Boston or New York
Wondering does it really matter if we’re strangers?
We spend one night free from our minds and chasing a light
Now it’s hard to say goodbye
Somewhere in those eyes
Rests the kind of love
Most won’t recognize
I’ve known it for so long
Oh darling, I will wait for you
Darling, I can wait
I’m far gone, but I’m halfway home
Darling, you won’t wait alone
Somewhere in those eyes
Rests the kind of love
Most won’t recognize
I’ve known it for a long time
Oh darling, I will wait for you
Darling, I can wait
I’m far gone, but I’m halfway home
Darling, you won’t wait alone
