I Never

I was watching the sun paint
 A reckless skyline
 Could be sitting on a front porch
 With a summer sigh
 There's a beacon of some sort
 Light to galvanize
 I never have dry land
 Always have sky
 I was walking to the water
 Took the long way around
 Heart dry as tinder
 Hardly made a sound
 I waited on the answer
 Hand turned to brine
 I never have patience
 Always have time
 I was waiting on my old man
 Working 5 to 9
 Kept looking for a loophole
 To help him kill the time
 Dry as any desert
 He drank everything in sight
 He never has water
 Always has wine
 Can you keep the pain out
 And just let in the breeze
 When I leave the door open
 The wind blows in all the leaves
 Will I know when I get there
 Or just drive on by
 I never have answers
 Only ask why
 Where is my daughter
 Where is my son
 Will he be honest
 She strong enough
 How they sparkle
 Brightest penny you'll find
 You'll never be ready
 Always be fine
 January sidewalk
 Your hand to mine
 Found every reason
 To lay or lie
 Old pair of blue jeans
 Pair of denim eyes
 I'll never be yours
