I can see the sweetness on your face

you don't know I'm looking

under the light of the moon

I know you're alive



in the blackness of the pine

in the paleness of the moon

you offer me a silver spoon

you offer me arms to take up

you offer me arms to wake up in

and we'll put pain away

sing the heavens to sleep

ah - let's not talk now

didn't know the birds woke so early

didn't know the dawn was so beautiful

didn't know didn't know didn't know

I didn't know



I can see the patience on your face

you don't know what it means to me

when I get weepy or when I get mad

I'm not very cool



in the blackness of the pine

in the paleness of the moon

you offer me a silver spoon

you offer me arms to take up

you offer me arms to wake up in

and we'll put pain away

sing the heavens to sleep

ah - let's not talk now

didn't know the birds woke so early

didn't know the dawn was so lovely

didn't know didn't know didn't know

I didn't know



oh - you keep me laughing at the world

and the more I laugh the more I understand

and the more I understand the more I love

and I'm always out of breath

half the time I'm out of breath



in the blackness of the pine

in the paleness of the moon

you offer me your love

and my love comes back to you
