Let's Not Talk Now
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
