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
