hey, turn around
chased you past where the highway ends, now only love gonna save my skin
oh, help me out
your heart can shine like a diamond lake, but get too close and it fades away
half my life, spent for a ghost
half my life, like blood from a stone
your love's a mirage, honey
takes me high, leaves me dry
half my life, just for a taste
half my life I thought you would change
oh no, won't ask no more
one more time 'fore I let you go
don't burn my heart out
miles in the desert sun
dying for a drink of love
oh, lead me to the water
so won't you show me how
I'm ever gonna fill my cup
honey I ain't asking much
lead me to the water
half my life gone by that's time enough
I don't wanna waste what I've got left
guess our love just ends up dust to dust
how many years I tried?
but don't know why, don't know why...
half my life, spent for a ghost
half my life, like blood from a stone
your love's a mirage, honey
takes me high, leaves me dry
half my life, just for a taste
half my life I thought you would change
oh no, won't ask no more
so one more time 'fore I let you go
but I can't make up the time that's gone
half my life just barely hanging on
so you can keep on shining
I'll just go and try and make it on my own
I can see you shining
filling up with diamonds
still I think I'll try and
make it on my own...
