I Don't Call

Your strength could not take leave To take a tack on flights and family When I pushed back east, I thought of you And when I clutched the dust, I thought of you And realized I don't know why We turn to work or drug or worry to fight The glittered remains of parents passing I don't know why We hold our tongues in time of trebled need But know that I'm yet the obverse side of your thrown coin I don't call because I can't say love I wanna know her to better find me So with eyes on harvest, I collected seeds Of aunts, addiction stories, foster parents, embraces I fetched a lot of these And yet still I don't know why She turned to work or drug or worry to fight The glittered remains of family trying I don't know why She held her tongue in time of trebled need But know I'm yet the obverse side of your flown coin I don't call because I can't say There will come a day Where I will move aside the fitful vine And I will show you what I try Oh, there will come a day Where I will show you how I turned the dirt And I will show you how she lies Oh, some day Well, I will lift a tongue into the phone And I will tell you That I don't know why I turn to work or drug or worry to fight The glittered remains of parents passing I don't know why I hold my tongue in time of trebled need But know I'm yet the observe side of your thrown coin I don't call because I can't say Don't call, I almost can say I'll call before I can say love
