I lost my heart in San Francisco years ago
I've been back to search but the curse is getting worse
Don't you know that the hardest blow to take is the one that you don't really know
If it's round the corner and ready to floor you, it looms and it goads
And we'll find some peace of mind from the shadows
And know that we could climb, just to pass the time
Like the heroes
Who stand up in their prime
Lost but still they shine
I was solo and alfresco years ago
And I fan the flames that keep me burning don't you know?
And I'm finding it harder still climbing up to this hill without you clinging on
Don't open the wounds that scarred you
It just makes things harder to prove where you're from
And we'll find some peace of mind from the shadows
And know that we could climb, just to pass the time
Like the heroes
Who stand up in their prime
Lost but still they shine
For all time
Heroes; misunderstood
Heroes; misunderstood
Yes, we'll find some peace of mind from the shadows
And know that we could climb, just to pass the time
Like the heroes
Who stand up in their prime
Lost but still they shine
Heroes; misunderstood
Heroes; misunderstood

Halfway Home
Today, I'll hide behind my microphone
And nurse my broken bones
I think I'd like to be back home
And I just can't wait
So wish me luck and I'll celebrate
And I'll get my coat
And send the note that I wrote
Just to let you know
That I'm just a stone's throw
Away from home
And there's no quick and easy way
To short the fuse you carry, hey!
As you're here, will you agree
There's been no change, it's still ol' me
I'm halfway home so leave the lantern on for me
I'm tired of kicking stones and I'll be back home today
I'll stay behind my microphone
Because the more I moan
Can only leave my changes blown
And I just can't wait
So wish me fortune, a safe escape
And I'll get my coat
And send the note that I wrote
Just to let you know
That I'm just a stone's throw
Away from home
And there's no quick and easy way
To short the fuse you carry, hey!
As you're here, will you agree
There's been no change, it's still ol' me
I'm halfway home and I'm tired of kicking stones
And there's no tried and tested way
I bought the blues feel each day
Won't you stray and walk with me, and keep my patience in a tree?
I'm halfway home so leave the lantern on for me
I'm tired of kicking stones and I'll be back home today
And there's no tried and tested way
I bought the blues feel each day
Won't you stray and walk with me, and keep my patience in a tree?
