Babe I Know - Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, Lucius

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, you come home and I’ll say

Baby I know

Babe I know, baby I know

That the course has drifted here

As we swim to land with our mouths full of sand

And say, baby I know

I’m all tired and my throats 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
