Half A World Away

You're half a world away
 Standing next to me
 It seems that every day
 I'm losing you almost invisibly
 Though you are near
 I can't reach that far across to where you are
 And so you stay
 Just half a world away
 And I would cross the universe for you
 What good would it do if you weren't even there?
 Till you return and until your way is clear
 I will be here, not half a world away
 You're half a world away
 And no one is to blame
 If love outlives its day
 And turns into an ember from a flame
 I love you as before
 Till words will be no more, till I can't find a way to where you stay
 Just half a world away
 And I would cross the universe for you
 But what good would it do if you weren't even there?
 Till you return and until your way is clear
 I will be here, not half a world away
 You're half a world away
