Nathaniel Rateliff, The Night Sweats - Babe I Know lyrics

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 we wait to go
If you don't 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 that 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"
