In the Evening

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
