Half Moon Bay Lyrics - Mott The Hoople

(mick ralphs/ian hunter) 

Well the colours cross my mind in a wave 

And the feelings that I find so very hard to say 

And I've gone with the rain making out 

But you never felt the same you are in doubt 

Well 

You mystified me I know 

And then you walked by me 

And the spell was broken in two 

Too soon my eyes grow dim and I try 

To recognise the figures drifting by 

And too late the sane man comes with the key 

And I fight the loneliness that just ain't me 

And now the evening bows to the night 

And I feel the world go down before my eyes 

And recklessly I'm running round 

As I try to find another that ain't so proud 

Hey you know 

There's someone who seems like you in every way 

I'm going to search I'm going to search I'm going to search 

I'm going to search every day 

Many years ago in my past 

I realise my dream would never last 

And constantly the letters fade 

And I sense the better half is already played 

And the colours cross my mind in a wave 

And the feelings that I find so very hard to say 

And I've gone with the rain making out 

But you never you never felt the same you are in doubt 

Oh you're still in doubt
