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

The Moon In Our Yard

THE MOON IN OUR YARD

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

AUGUST 2018

TOO MUCH HONEY, A LITTLE SOUR

TELL ME WHAT WOULD PLEASE YOU

PERFECTION IS FANTASY

WRAPPED IN A POINT OF VIEW

FOR ALL THE WORLD TO SEE

NOTHING MUCH HAS CHANGED

YOU CAN LIVE IN A FAKE WORLD

I'LL GO ON LIVING IN A DREAM

THAT DOESN'T RELY ON ILLUSION

TRY TO DODGE

 THE ENSUING CONFUSION

THAT FOLLOWS YOU

ON A WHIRLWIND OF CURIOUS CONCERN

NOW EVERYTHING THAT WAS

IS BROKEN

I THOUGHT YOU KNEW

RE-ASSIGNED, DESTINED

 FOR A CHANCE ANEW

LET'S START THIS BEGINNING

 FROM AN END 

YOU AND I, I NEED A FRIEND

LEAD EACH OTHER THROUGH

THE DARKNESS AND THE LIGHT

SURELY LOVE HAS GOT TO WIN

A SMILE A LAUGH, A LOOK

A SUDDEN COOL BREEZE

AND UNDERSTANDING

 OF WHO WE ARE

STARS IN THE SKY

FIREFLIES IN THE WOODS

THE MOON IN OUR YARD

A SIMPLER LIFE

WHERE WE WON'T HAVE TO

WORK SO HARD

THE BEATING OF WINGS

AS THE EAGLE ALIGHTS

SHE SOARS TO THE HEIGHTS

STANDING THERE IN SILENCE AND AWE

TO BELIEVE IN THAT ONE THING

 THAT I SAW

A SIGN AN OMEN IN GOOD FAITH

ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS ASK

LOCKED ON A VISION

SOMETHING I NEED

ALL THAT I ASKED FOR

IT ISN'T REALLY MUCH

NOT SO CRAZY, OUT OF TOUCH

SURE YOU COULD SAY

I LIKE TO KEEP IT REAL

WAY DOWN DEEP

OH I THINK I FEEL IT RISE

SUN IS COMING UP

WIPES THE MOONLIGHT

 FROM MY EYES

THIS CRAZY WORLD WILL STALL

TIME SEEMS TO CRAWL

  THROUGH THE FLAMES

YOU REACH THE WATER IN TIME

AVERTED DISASTER

LIFE IS MOVING FASTER

TAKING THE LONG WAY

WHY IS IT THEN

WE STILL CAN'T SEE THE END

PLEASE WON'T YOU

TELL US WHEN

SURELY LOVE HAS GOT TO WIN

Freedoms Never Faraway

FREEDOMS NEVER FARAWAY

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

JULY 2018

YOU SET OUT TO FIND OUT WHO YOU ARE

WHEN YOU'RE NOT SURE

YOU FOUND OUT YOU DIDN'T FIT RIGHT IN

YOU GAVE IT A FEW MORE TRIES

THEN YOU MOVED RIGHT ON

FOUND THE MOUNTAINS

FOUND THE SEA

FELT SO STRONGLY

PART OF ME

DIDN'T WANT TO GO

DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE

HEARD THE ROAD CALLING YOU ON

LEFT WITH THE DAWN

A DREAM IS JUST A DREAM

A DAY IS JUST A DAY

IF THAT'S THE WAY YOU WANT IT

YOU CAN HAVE YOUR SAY

WHO'S BEHIND YOU

COME TO FIND YOU

STAND STILL SO I CAN TELL

OR KEEP ON GOING

MAYBE ITS JUST AS WELL

IN MY LIFE

 THERE'S A PLACE

THAT I'M GOING TO

AS PHYSICAL AS ITS A FEELING

A STATE OF MIND

A STAKE IN TIME

A PLACE FAR REMOVED

FROM THE CITY

SWEET LITTLE PLACE

IN THE WOODS BY THE LAKE

WHERE THE SUN RISES AND SETS

MYSTIFIES NEVER LETS YOU FORGET

HOW BEAUTIFUL THE WORLD CAN BE 

CHOCK FULL OF MYSTERY

LAY IN THE MEADOWS

WATCH THE WORLD GO BY

SOARING EAGLE OWNING THE SKY

A LIGHT BLUE BUTTERFLY

FREEDOMS NEVER FARAWAY

MY HEART AND SOUL

WEAR IT LIKE A BADGE

TREASURE HERE ALL AROUND ME

GROUND AND SKY

ASK YOURSELF DO I NEED A REASON

DOES THERE HAVE TO BE A WHY

I CROSSED ALL MY T'S

AND DOTTED ALL MY I'S

THE SKY CRIED

MADE A RAINBOW SLIDE

INTO THE BLUE WITH GOLDEN SUN

AFTER THE RAIN

DRIFTING CLOSER ALMOST THERE

I SEE THE SPARKLING WATERS

ON THE HORIZON

CALLING OUT TO ME

FEEL THE SAND BETWEEN YOUR TOES

THE SWEET WATER ON THE BREEZE

DOWN ON MY KNEES

WATCHING THE WAVES

FREEDOMS NEVER FARAWAY
