Took a train to Venice had a look around
Tried to take a gondola it sank I almost drowned
People gathered near me as water filled my lungs
I cried for help repeatedly but in a foreign tongue
Half-way around the world tonight I think of things you said
But I only half remember in a half-empty bed
Drove from France to Switzerland to see the mountain snow
Walked along deserted streets and felt the cold wind blow
Wondered how the Matterhorn could possibly have changed
From when we stood together ther before you took my name
Half-way around the world tonight I think of things you said
But I only half remember in a half-empty bed
Phone calls, postcards, long nights
Love you, miss you, good-bye
Spent the night in Amien that crummy same hotel
With towels as thick as cardboard and a room that smelled like hell
I thought you'd remember it we'd had a nasty fight
But somehow you'd forgotten when I called you up last night
Half-way around the world tonight I think of things you said
But I only half remember in a half-empty bed
I only half remember in a half-empty bed
