Half Return

Adrianne Lenker


Shadow, shadow what a show
Every other step, there's a crosseyed crow
Half return, half return
Minneapolis soft white snow
35 bridge, hometown
Half return, half return

Standing in the yard, dressed like a kid
The house is white and the lawn is dead
The lawn is dead, the lawn is dead

Illinois toll road, Indiana plain
Roll the windows down, shoot at the change
Half return, half return
Honey in your mouth when you gave me my name
Tears in your eyes when you pull it likе a chain
Half return, half return

Standing in the yard, drеssed like a kid
The house is white and the lawn is dead
The lawn is dead, the lawn is dead

Half return, half return
Rusty swing set, plastic slide
Push me up and down, take me for a ride

Standing in the yard, dressed like a kid
The house is white and the lawn is dead
The lawn is dead, the lawn is dead
