He's only half-way there
he's only half-way there.
Told me my fortune was enough for me
that I should rather be
lying lonely in the houses
that stand along the river-side,
wearing nothing but the ruby bequeathed to me
by him when he died.

He's only half-way there
he's only half-way there.
First time I turned and ran away from him
I could not begin
to feel the feelings
that I felt he felt then.
If he hadn't disappeared in spring that year
I'd have sent him home again.

He's only half-way there
he's only half-way there.
One look at his visage will tell you so
there's nothing to know
is there in black and white, printed on his brow.
He has told me why when where
but he never told me how

He's only half-way there
he's only half-way there.
A large courtege of mourners all agree
that it was really he
huddled in a blanket
chewing on a ball-point pen.
They stood him up against the wall
and set him off again

around the karmic wheel... big deal
now you can't get me that way.
I read between the lines of the notice in the times
and this is what they say

He's only half-way there, he's only half-way there, half-way there, etc.
