Really nice soulfully delivered vocals, that help to punctuate some authentic, moving emotions. I love the subtle mix of an RnB influence in the melody and delivery. . .which is a nice juxtaposition against the otherwise folky vibe.

Lyrics
Intro:
When I was five
Learned you were alive
How did you survive, Mr. Robertson?
You went to jail
I knew how to spell
Why didn't you write, Mr. Robertson?
First Verse:
I was your third
Her only one
The things I've heard
That you've done
So absurd
Not one word
From you, Mr. Robertson
Hook:
You don't know me
And I (I) don't (don't) know you, Mr. Robertson
Second Intro:
Abandoned young, taken in by a coven
I'd receive unconditional lovin'
Never to be seen in the house of my brethren
Given some time, I'd be missing nothin'
Second Verse:
Was damn near grown
You tried to come back home
Your heart made of glass
My heart turned to stone
Too many years had passed
To the door you were shown
Goodbye, Mr. Robertson
Hook:
You don't know me
And I (I) don't (don't) know you, Mr. Robertson
Bridge:
I can't love
A man that I barely know
I let you go
The one absent
Is never the parent, Mr. Robertson
Outro:
Abandoned young, taken in by a coven
I'd receive unconditional lovin'
Never to be seen in the house of the brethren
Given some time, I'd be missing nothing
