Half The Time

(album: Lovey - 1990)

There's a crow flying down from over the hill
Cracked paint on my window sill
Each morning broke provides a girl
Forget my evening feeling world
When day gets dark it seeps into my skin
And I recall the spark that kept me sane

Can't talk to you it's plain
Won't start to name my pain
Or forget I don't why
You tugged the corner of my eye
Moving up the neck of my guitar
I turn the lamp off, I see where you are

You're the one light slowly fading in my mind
Furthest from my head, half the time
Simple point, too bright to leave the sky
You're dissolving in my eye
In my eye
My closed eye
Half the time

Mountain Dew and Malboro
While I stew over all I owe
My eyes set wet against the breeze
Guide the sun into the trees
Where squirrels are holding acorns in their teeth
I can't see into why I made you leave

You're the one light slowly fading in my mind.
The furthest from my head, half the time
A simple point revolving in my sky
You're dissolving in my eye
