Gillian Welch - Dear Avery lyrics

Dear Avery, I think of you only Were you waving, were you dead on the vine? Oh Avery, to think of you lonely I could just grab you by the nape of your neck There are times life will rattle your bones And will bend your limbs But you're still far and away The boy you've ever been So you bend back and shake at the frame Of the frame you made But don't you shake alone Please, Avery, come home Head strong, you and your long arms Listing lazily on the cusp of your teens But you were my Avery and when you needed saving I could just grab you by the nape of your neck There are times life will rattle your bones And will bend your limbs But you're still far and away The boy you've ever been So you bend back and shake at the frame Of the frame you made But don't you shake alone Please, Avery, come home Don't you shake alone Please, Avery, come home
