Lyrics
0:11Penniless & tired with your hair grown long
0:15I was looking at you there and your face looked wrong
0:20Memory is a fickle siren's song I didn't understand
0:31In the gentle light as the morning nears
0:36You don't say a single word of the last two years
0:41Where you were or when you reached the frontier
0:46I didn't understand
1:02See you rugged hands and a silver knife
1:06Twenty dollars in your hand that you hold so tight
1:11All the evidence of your vagrant life
1:17My brother you were gone
1:22And you will try to do what you did before
1:27Pull the wool over your eyes for a week or more
1:32Let your family take you back to your original mind
1:42There's nothin' I can do
1:52There's nothin' I can do
2:02There's nothin' I can say
2:13There's nothin' I can say
2:22I can say
Penniless & 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 you 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 nothin' I can do There's nothin' I can do There's nothin' I can say There's nothin' I can say I can say
