Hey Buster,
I see that cloud above your head
That beard can't grow any longer.
Whistle that rhyme
Are those are your evoking thoughts?
But don't speak, don't speak, don't speak.
The fireplace is searing
There is tea on the table, yet you can't tell us your story
The indistinguishable murmurs, the "umms" and "ahhs" unease me.
You have this habit, this eruption of unseemly laughter.
Numb those feelings and don't speak
Don't speak
Laugh,
Just don't speak.
You are no dumb kid with a gun,
You were born with that tongue
Can't conjure up the words to look in our eyes
And tell us your tale,
Your momma, your papa, your sisters and brothers
From ol' grandpaps to auntie carolina
You have a saga to tell us.
Is it vital to camouflage yourself with the whistle of the bird?
The cry of a coyote is still apparent through the song,
Tell me your story.
Just don't speak, yet.
Don't speak.
