This could be the saddest dusk
I've ever seen
Turn to a miracle
High alive
My mind is racing
As it always will
My hand is tired my heart aches
I'm half a world away here
My head sworn
To go it alone
And hold it along
Haul it along
And hold it
Go it alone
Hold it along and hold, hold.

This lonely deep sit hollow
I'm half a world
Half the world away
My shoes are gone
My life spent
I had too much to drink
I didn't think
And I I didn't think of you
I guess that's all I needed
To go it alone
And hold it along
Haul it along
And hold it
Blackbirds backwards forwards and fall and hold hold.

Oh this lonely world is wasted
Pathetic eyes high alive
blind to the tide that turns the sea
This storm it came up strong
It shook the trees
And blew away our fear
I couldn't even hear

To go it alone
And hold it along
Haul it along
And hold it
To go it alone
And hold it along
Haul it along
To go it alone
And hold it along
Haul it along
And hold it
Blackbirds backwards forwards and fall and hold hold.

This could be the saddest dusk
I've ever seen
Turn to a miracle
high alive
My mind is racing
As it always will
My hands tired my heart aches
I'm half a world away and go.

    great song.........let the new wave of REM fans (I don't mean you) come forth!

    If Eddie inducted C&C Music Factory, I bet "Everybody Dance Now" would re-enter the charts!

    REM has been my fav band since the mid-80s, so in this case, I am glad the sheep are following Eddie's "directives"!

    With REM & Van Halen both getting inducted recently, I have been listening to their albums this week....reliving my younger days no doubt!

    Anyhow, Out of Time is one of my favorite REM records, and after listening to it....I remember how much I fucking love this song "Half A World Away"!!! It is fucking brilliant!!

    Great video for this song too. One of my favorite REM tunes, next to Country Feedback.

    Out of Time is a great album, but there are two songs that keep it from being a classic:

    Radio Song
    Shiny Happy People

    I love R.E.M., but I really don't like these songs. Shiny Happy People might be the most annoying song ever written by anyone. Just my opinion of course.

    Favorite tracks:

    Losing My Religion
    Near Wild Heaven
    Half a World Away
    Texarkana
    Country Feedback
    Me in Honey
    "I try my best to chug, stomp, weep, whisper, moan, wheeze, scat, blurt, rage, whine, and seduce. With my voice I can sound like a girl, the boogieman, a Theremin, a cherry bomb, a clown, a doctor, a murderer. I can be tribal. Ironic. Or disturbed. My voice is really my instrument."

    -Tom Waits
