Half Full Jam Lyrics by Marillion

Happiness Is the Road

2008

I used to be half empty
But now I'm half full
I used to be half empty
But now I'm half full
I used to be half empty
But now I'm half full
I'm half full, I'm half full, I'm half full
I used to be half empty
But now I'm half full
I'm half full, I'm half full
You woke me up
I woke up in a city that doesn't sleep
Woke up in a city by the sea
I woke up in a city full of rain
I nodded off, you woke me up again
I woke up in a village full of stone
I woke up, someone had taken everything I own
The stone looked on and didn't care
But all I really needed was someone to say "there there...
There there, there there..."
You woke me up
You brought me round
You picked me up when I was down
You said "stand clear,"
Hit me with the probes
And you exploded in my lungs -
And I woke up
I woke up
I've been asleep for twenty years
Been doing a crawl in a pool of someone else's tears
I used to be half empty
But now I'm half full...
I went to bed, too tired to cope -
And I was gradually losing hope
But angels come to you when all is lost
In golden light at dead of night
Golden light at dead of night
An angel's voice on the telephone -
Come to whisper "Take me home..."
I used to be half empty
But now I'm half full
I used to be half empty
But now I'm half full!
And I woke up in a city full of snow, full of snow -
And history and beauty and Christmas-lights and cold
And I saw your hair freezing, your eyelashes too
And I never saw anything as beautiful as you -
Til I woke up
Well, I used to be half-empty
But now I'm half-full
I used to be half-empty
But now I'm half-full
Half empty
Half empty ...
And half full
Half full ...
