We left the red boots to wander Catherine Avenue The couch had a better view We stumbled and sailed out over blackish water Inside of Vacant house You creeped quietly by like a Christmas mouse I remember once to Elizabeth on the parkway drive Mothers, closets above the splintered floor The holiday Still we went away Henry don't you know that you were a friend of mine? Henry you are a friend of mine Half of the time Give me half of the time Water runs upstairs on Dennis Lane Out of the tub and over piano strings That rust Lake Michigan turns red brown like iodine There are one thousand ways that you can say good bye Henry didn't you know she was a friend of mine Henry she was a friend of mine Half of the time Give me half of the time Half of the time Give me half of the There's a low flying bird with its ear to the ground From our house to your house Through mayflowers, burnt gra**, and the cricket sound The streetlight turns on Because night follows near And the low flying bird Will soon disappear And it goes and it goes and it goes and it goes. And it goes and it goes and it goes and it goes. Let it go, let it go, let it go Will you let it go, let it go, let it go? We left the red boots to wander Catherine avenue
