Halfway home: are we there yet? are we? are we?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAB5LkQyZJK

well, i used to walk along the opposite side of the road 
and made others get out of my way
i used to think that i could just sit and wait for the times
but i know i should meet them halfway

i'm halfway home and i'm on my own
i'm halfway there and i don't care, i don't mind
i plan to leave here after supper time
that's when traffic is light, all i need is a sign
and i'll be alright
i'll be fine

well, i used to think that i could just sleep and then i'd dream
and everything it would just come to me
until i woke one day without anything to eat
lying on the opposite side of the street

i'm halfway home and i'm still out on my own
i'm halfway there and i don't care, i don't mind
because it ain't my time, no, not to stay or to say
well, i can't say
but you can bet that i'll play my heart out
i won't ever lay down on the way
i'll never lay down
not me

i used to think that i could just sit and wait for the times
but i know i gotta meet them somewhere, out there, halfway

i'm halfway home, i tried home ridding with the flow
i'm halfway there
ain't it funny how everybody seems to care
i planned to get there around supper time
they are serving up bread and wine
all i needed was a sign and i guess i'll be alright
i'll be fine

it seems to be a running theme
about being fine and alright
but i don't mind
because i'll be fine and alright
i'll be fine, i'll be fine, i'll be fine

free press


i once had a man, or should i say, he once had me?
he showed me his room, isn't it good? virginian woods
he asked me to stay and he told me to sit anywhere
so i looked around and i noticed there wasn't a chair
(only a bed from the 18th century!)
i knelt on his rug, biding my time, kissing his lips
we talked and we talked 
and then he said: "it's time for bed"
he told me he worked a great deal and started to panic
i told him: "it's fine, we all do", but he hasn't listening
and when i woke i was alone, the bird had flown
so i lit a fire, and candles, and incense, isn't it good?

corazón


¿dónde estás corazón? ayer te busqué entre el suelo y el cielo, mi cielo, y no te encontré 
y no puedo pensar que huyes de mi, porque en mi silencio una corazonada me dice que si
¿dónde estás corazón? ven regresa por mi, que la vida se me vuelve hueca si no estás aqui
y quiero pensar que no te tardarás 
porque en el planeta no existe más nadie a quien pueda yo amar

ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay
ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay

¿dónde estás corazón? ayer te busqué 
¿dónde estás corazón? y no te encontré

te busqué en el armario, en el abecedario, debajo del carro,
en el negro, en el blanco,
en los libros de historia, en las revistas, en el radio, 
te busque por las calles, en donde tu madre,
en cuadros de botero,
en mi monedero,
en dos mil religiones,
te busqué hasta en mis canciones

...porque en el planeta no exista más nadie a quien pueda yo amar.

Are we there yet???
