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?
Till 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 to blame-
If love outlives its day,
And turns into an embbar 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.

And I would cross,
The universe for you
What good would it do,
If you weren't even there?
Till you return-
Until your way is clear,
I will be here...
Not half a world away.

You're half a world away.
