Oh, turn around
Chased you past where the highway ends, now only love gonna save my skin
Hey, help me out
Your heart can shine like a diamond lake, but get too close and it fades away
Half my life, spent for a ghost
Half my life, like blood from a stone
Your love's a mirage, honey
Takes me high, leaves me dry
Half my life, just for a taste
Half my life I thought you would change
Oh no, won't ask no more
One more time 'fore I let you go

Don't burn my heart out
Miles in the desert Sun
Dying for a drink of love
Oh, lead me to the water
So won't you show me how
I'm ever gonna fill my cup
Honey I ain't asking much
Lead me to the water

Half my life gone by that's time enough
I don't wanna waste what I've got left
Guess our love just ends up dust to dust
How many years I tried?
But don't know why, don't know why
Half my life, spent for a ghost
Half my life, like blood from a stone
Your love's a mirage, honey
Takes me high, leaves me dry
Half my life, just for a taste
Half my life I thought you would change
Oh no, won't ask no more
So one more time 'fore I let you go

But I can't make up the time that's gone
Half my life just barely hanging on
So you can keep on shining
I'll just go and try and make it on my own
I can see you shining
Filling up with diamonds
Still I think I'll try and
Make it on my own
