Half Here

I’m half here, darling
Half here
I don’t know where the rest of me is
I am half dressed
In my half best
And I give you a faraway kiss

I’m like a shadow
That slides ‘cross the back wall
I’ve been a ghost in my dreams
Unable, it seems, to touch anything
I just slip right through

In my half home
Where I half read
And just half of the meaning remains
Where the rest goes only God knows
With the laundry all half put away

I’m like the lost song
When it’s been so long
You can’t be sure if the tune
Familiar to you
Bears any resemblance to the one that’s true

I’m gliding on air with my hollow-eyed stare
My thoughts are like dust
That won’t land anywhere

I am half here, darling
Half here
I wish I had much more to give
Who knows how long
I’ll be half gone
I want to do more than half live

Ah, ah-ah
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
