You Don’t Say

When it’s laid before me
Down that body
Down that road
And all that may befall me
And whether you were mine alone

You don’t say, you don’t say

All that sweetness hummin’
A single word I have not earned
‘Cause souls like yours are something
Men like me don’t deserve
‘Cause I ain’t good at loving
Though I’ll tell you something
It ain’t that hard
And there must be someone out there
Who calls you theirs, love
Who’ll take your arm

You don’t say, you don’t say
You don’t say, you don’t say
Why don’t you ask your brother to give you away?
You don’t say, you don’t say

When it’s laid before me
Down that body
Down that road
And all that’s out there waiting
And whether you were mine alone

You don’t say, you don’t say
You don’t say, you don’t say
Why don’t you ask your brother to give you away?
You don’t say, you don’t say
