In the Evening - Half Waif

Don’t expect me to come home in the evening

You know that i’m trying

To face the night

There is something to be learned

From the hue of the sky

When it loses all its light

And in the morning there’ll be tea and coffee and milk

Just the way you like

And we’ll go back to the same old story we knew

We can’t divide

Your belongings surround me

And i’m losing track of what is what

The blur of the boundary

Compounded by the murmur of the clock

Don’t expect me to be happy to see

That you’re happier than me

I don’t owe you that

I get quiet in the times when you’re gone

There’s a life going on

But it doesn’t feel like me

And in the morning there’ll be tea and coffee

You know i can provide

Tell me everything you dreamed in the hours

When we laid there side by side

Sitting out in the front yard

And i’m waiting for the elements to come

There’s a window around me

And i watch you turn a light off
