Split the Difference (Daddy's Lullaby) - Ethan Hawke

sunday night my apartment is empty

half drunk bottle lays on the floor

theres a balloon out on the lawn

next to chewed out apple cores

theres crayons on my coffee table

play dough by a barbie horse stable

never knenw silence like this before

till im cleaning up lemonade all sticky on the floor

i wonder what my kids are doing right now

do they miss me are they glad to be gone

saturday night was a lunar eclipse

i sang am to sleep when song like this

well go to sleep my weary babies

let the sounds roll on by

tonight we’re safe here in houston

with this your daddy’s lullaby

your mother’s got a new boyfriend now

he seems allright

i wonder if he’s reading them stories

and kissing them good night

well babysitters say they miss me

i know i should and hope it’s true

teachers says my daughter paints pictures of family

all in blue

she says she cought him whispering to the window

will daddy please come home

i know i should call her up

but what if his mother answers the phone
