He Doesn't Know Why Lyrics - Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes

Penniless and tired, let your hair grow long 

I was looking at you there and your face looked wrong 

Memory is a fickle siren song 

I didn't understand 

Image and a light as the morning nears 

You don't say a single word of your last two years 

Well you will be, you'll reach the frontier 

I didn't understand, oh 

See your running hands and a silver knife 

Twenty dollars in your hand that you hold so tight 

All the evidence of your vacantlie 

My brother you were born 

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
