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
