Half-Life
Lyrics
The window held me half a beat
A tired man on someone's street
He stood the way the careful stand
My father's watch on his own hand
The mirror caught me off my guard
A stranger standing in the yard
His shoulders bent to fit a door
I don't remember anymore
He wore my face like Sunday clothes
And answered when I said hello
I counted what I set aside
The years I labeled and let ride
The songs still boxed against the wall
I couldn't hear myself at all
The mirror caught me off my guard
A stranger standing in the yard
His shoulders bent to fit a door
I don't remember anymore
The mirror caught me off my guard
A stranger standing in the yard
Hello in there, I know your face
I left you in a smaller place
I heard you knocking through the wall
I'm on my way, I'm down the hall
