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
