Halfway Round The World

words & music: Allan Thomas

Down and out in kilauea and the rains begun to fall
surrounded by beauty but I don't see it at all
what's wrong
wrong with this picture well your not in it baby
your halfway 'round the world

your probably sitting in some cafe sipping java in legian
a balinese melody on the gamelan
but something's wrong wrong with this picture
'cause I'm not in it baby and your halfway 'round the world

*so I'm sending you a message
an s.o.s. come home to me baby
I'm in distress and if you listen you can hear me
halfway 'round the world

no I can't help but wonder is someone sweet-talkin' you
with fast lines and slick moves
whether your charmed or amused
whether interested or confused
what can I do or say your so far away
halfway 'round the world

*so I'm sending you a message
an s.o.s. come home to me baby
I'm in distress and if you listen you can hear me
halfway 'round the world

I can't take this torture it's a living hell
no communication phone calls or mail
but I'm holding on holding on to a dream
your running off that plane into my arms again
and that's what keeps me going darlin'

*so I'm sending you a message
an s.o.s. come home to me baby
I'm in distress and if you listen you can hear me
halfway 'round the world
