Half the time

Evan Dando


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 call 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 know why
You tugged the corner of my eye
Movin' up the neck of my guitar
I turn the lamp off,
I see where you are
Your one light slowly fading in my mind
The 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 er 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
Your 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
