Marillion Songs

Song:

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 me up in a city that doesn't sleep

I woke me 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 and someone had taken everything I own

And the stone looked on and didn't care

But all I really needed was someone to say "there there, there there, there there"

There there. 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

You exploded in my lobes

And I woke up

I woke up

I've been asleep for 20 years

Been doing the crawl in a pool of someone else's tears

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 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 angels 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 and 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 full

Full
