Lyrics 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
