The Halfway Kid - Poniente Lyrics

On the side of Poniente
While the moon is in the sky
I steal a couple minutes owed
From my kin who idles by

I've been walking by with you
I've been following your plan
But the map you gave to me
It's not been looking like the land

I think there's something winding
It's been tying me to them
In my nights I feel it loose
In my nights I want it gone

Oh, my love
Oh, my love
If I'm the only one believing

Oh, my love
Oh, my love
Then there's nothing to believe

I could speak of it with you
But what's the use, what's to gain?
For we could talk until we're blue
Doubts like infant sounds remain

There's a ribbon and it's winding
It's been tying me to them
In my days I feel it loose
In my nights I want it gone

Oh, my love
Oh, my love
If I'm the only one believing

Oh, my love
Oh, my love
Then there's nothing to believe

Oh, oh, my love
Oh, my love
If I'm the only one believing

Oh, oh, my love
Oh, my love
Then there's nothing to believe

On the side of Poniente
While the sun is in the sky
Working quickly to untie
From my kin who idles by
