Half Way To Nowhere

HALF WAY TO NOWHERE

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

2018

A MOMENT

A FROZEN FRAME IN TIME

OUTSIDE THE LENS

ETCHED ON MY MIND

A RIBBON OF BLUE

AS FAR AS I CAN SEE

HANGING IN THE SKY

OVER ME

ON THE CREST

SUN RAYS LIKE FINGERS

REACHING DOWN

FAR BELOW

A RIVER WINDS

FLANKED BY LUSH

GREEN HILLS AND WOODLANDS 

STEEPED IN SUMMER

SMILING, LAUGHING

THE LONGER DAYS

I DO MY BEST TO GET INSIDE

SPEND THE MINUTES 

TURNED TO HOURS

ANOTHER DAY

THIS IS HOW I BURN THEM

SO MUCH TO TAKE IN

ITS HARD TO KNOW

WHERE TO BEGIN

I FOLLOW THE WIND

DOWN SLEEPY ROADS

LOST IN TIME

I'M FINDING MY WAY

UNHURRIED AND HEY 

NO SENSE OF URGENCY

IN THE DAY

NO END IN SIGHT

I COULD DRIVE FOREVER

THE UNKNOWN 

BECKONING TO ME

HALF WAY TO NOWHERE

BUT I DON'T KNOW

WHICH HALF

I'M JUST ROLLING ON

CHASING DOWN MEMORIES

ONE MILE AT A TIME 

SWEET MORNING

SWEET DAY

PASSING TIME AWAY

IMMERSED IN THE ISOLATION

THE INSULATION

 FROM THE CITY LIGHTS

ALONE WITH 

THE STARS AND MOON

THE MORNING SUN

A PEACEFUL JOY

BEFORE ME

THE ROAD IS LONG

THE BEST ONES

ALWAYS ARE

LEAVE YOUR TROUBLES

 BEHIND YOU

TODAY

THEY'LL NEVER FIND YOU

LOOKING FOR THE ANSWERS

SIFTING THROUGH THE CLUES

CHARMED I'M SURE

DRIFTING ON A CLOUD

YOU'LL HAVE TO

SPEAK REAL LOUD

I CAN'T HEAR YOU

DOWN THE ROAD

GLORY TAKING HOLD

HALFWAY TO NOWHERE

BUT I DON'T KNOW

WHICH HALF

I'M ROLLING ON
