Babe I Know

Babe, I know it swirls around me

Like the sun shines on the coast

Like a weathered, torn, once sturdy barn

I used to give you shelter and warmth

It's clear, I can see

The dry grass at my feet

As I wait to go, you'll come home, I'll just say

"Baby, I know"

Babe, I know, baby, I know

The course has drifted here

As we swim to land, mouths full of the sand, just say

"Baby, I know"

I'm all tired and my throat's so dry

I feel I'm barely holding on

I'm gonna sit around here with this abscessed fear and say

"Baby, I know"

Now there's something I want that I'll never be

Burned out full of love

Now sometimes I lay here half awake

And say, "Baby, I know"

Now sometimes I lay here half awake

And say, "Baby, I know"
