Halfway Gone

Capo on 2 C F C Dm Am Dm C C F C Halfway gone, halfway in a memory Dm Am Silk streets like ribbons in the wind Dm C Dm C Let loose beneath my heels, disappear in the distance Dm Am Hear the soft fade of a dissipating day Dm C Never to return to me again C F C I left my love waiting in the village green Dm Am While I took the only train to sea Dm C I know that wasn't very dependable of me Dm C Dm C But I don't miss the rituals, the back and forth or the difficulties Dm Am We held like as we mired Dm C I'm not ashamed to tell you I'm tired C F C Dm Am Dm C C F C I lost my hat in a quick wind of the ocean shore Dm Am And I found myself lazing in the sand Dm C Amused by the diamonds on my hands Dm C Dm C Then a winged thing flew overhead and sat down on the water bed Dm Am It was all I could see for a while Dm C There was nothing I could do but smile C F C But a man can't live camped out in a reverie Dm Am And not think sometimes about the Fall Dm C I really don't remember that at all Dm C Dm C But I know some of the deeds I've done, the missteps and the grace unwon Dm Am And I know I'm accountable for it all Dm C I wish I had answered when you called C F C Dm Am Dm C C F C So I'll ask you now can we leave off where we picked up Dm Am Aren't some things just too twisted to untie Dm C And is it even worth our time to try? Dm C Dm C And theres no bound beyond the ground, no roots to be unwound Dm Am Out amid the foaming sky and sea Dm C What do you expect for there to be? C F C Dm Am Dm C Dm F C G Dm Am Dm C Dm F C G The old world rose, rows in from Mexico Dm F C Red sails raised before the dawn Dm Am I wonder what's been taking her so long Dm F I've done all I can think to do C G I've been through everything in view Dm F C And I'm ready now for something new to feel C F C Dm Am Dm C Dm C Dm C Dm C
