[Verse 1]
When I watch you sleepin'
There’s nothing that you hide
When I smell you breathin'
There’s a sweetness from inside
And when I feel you stirrin'
And the day is about to break
Outside wings are whirring
And the sky is there to take

[Bridge]
I wonder how I got so close to you
And see the chances that you take
Without thinkin' I’m goin' there too
These are the promises you make
When your eyes are blinded by love
And the history of fate

[Verse 2]
When I hear you purrin'
Like a kitten and a lion
And I feel your softness
How you got it without tryin'
Then you roll and tumble
With your dreams still holdin' on
And I hear that rumble
In the stomach of the dawn
[Bridge]
Today I paint my masterpiece
Tonight I trace my tears
Thinking through the road I took to you
And where I stumbled through the years

[Harmonica Solo]

[Bridge]
Today I paint my masterpiece
Tonight I trace my tears
Thinkin' through my path to you
And where I stumbled through the years
That’s when I knew I’d never hold you down
Repeating old roads and fears

[Verse 3]
Now the crows are callin'
And the blackbirds sing in my ear
You got one eye open
And I’m smiling through my tears
But you’ll never see them
They're inside with my fears
In a place that’s fading away
And taking on new years
[Instrumental Outro]
