Fleet Foxes - He Doesn't Know Why lyrics

Penniless and tired with your hair grown long
I was looking at you there
And your face looked wrong
Memory is a fickle siren's song
I didn't understand
In the gentle light as the morning nears
You don't say a single word
Of the last two years where you were or when
You reached the frontier i didn't understand

See your rugged hands and a silver knife
Twenty dollars in your hand that
You hold so tight
All the evidence of your vagrant life
My brother, you were gone
And you will try to do what you did before
Pull the wool over your eyes
For a week or more
Let your family take you back to your
Original mind

There's nothing I can do
There's nothing I can do
There's nothing I can say
There's nothing I can say, I can say

It's recording we're going?
Yep
