I Never - Caitlin Canty

I Never-Caitlin Canty
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
Always have time, I always have time,
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
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
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
