He Doesn't Know Why

Penniless and tired with your hair grown long
 I was looking at you there and your face looked wrong
 Memory is a fickle siren 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, no
 ♪
 See your rugged hands and a silver knife
 20 dollars in your hand that you hold so tight
 All the evidence of your vacant 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

 You goin'? (Yeah)
