Back in Brooklyn - Half Waif

Back in Brooklyn, for the night

It’s easy and it’s right

It’s freezing and it’s bright

It’s everything I like

Back and broken in some ways

It’s easier to stay

Half a world away

Forgetting every name

I called you up

When I got back

Where have you been?

Don’t ask me that

I’m casting off my half-empty shell

Through all that I’ve lost, now I know myself so well

The further away I walk, the more I’m a whisper

Listen for me now

You’ve got to listen for me now

Back in Brookdale, after dark

I know it’s not my park

But can’t you get up?

I need to find a spark

I called you up

When I got back

Where have you been?

Don’t ask me
