[Verse 1]
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
I know you're alive

[Chorus]
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 and
Ah, let's not talk now
I 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

[Verse 2]
I can see the patience on your face
You don't know what it means to me
When I get weepy or I get mad
I'm not very cool
I'm not very cool
[Chorus]
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 and
Let's not talk now
I 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

[Verse 3]
Oh, you keep me laughing at the world
And the more I laugh the more I understand
The more I understand the more I love
And I'm always out of breath
Half the time I'm out of breath

[Outro]
Oh, in the blackness of the pine
In the paleness of the moon
You offer me your love
And my love comes back to you
