Anna Coogan: Music

Halfway Gone

When you need them they can’t be found
when you love them they just fade away
when you want them they might come around
when you leave them they beg to stay

they say darling, darling don’t go
well I need you more than you know
I just can’t find the right words to show you
cuz I’m restless, and I’m halfway there

I’ll take a train down to Washington square
watch the poets and painters and dust in the air
and just when I think I’ve moved on
well my heart takes a beating and I’m halfway gone

I’ll beg you darling, darling don’t go
I need you more than you know
I just can’t find the right way to show you
cause I’m restless and I’m wandering and I’m halfway here
and I’m halfway gone

when you’re lonely you will call me
I won’t say I told you so
even though I told you so
