[Verse 1]
Quiet nights unweighted
By a constant hum
Currents heavy from
The air that falls asleep
And hangs its dreams
From the moon
Listen you'll hear it whisper
[Chorus]
I can see as much in the dark
Underneath the blanket of stars
As I can in dazzling sun
I'm outside I'm in love

Starting to feel
Home in the country
Changing what I'm making real
[Verse 2]
Early clouds
I can feel
On my fingertips
Coming through the mist
The light is soft
And white
Gentle on my
Tired eyes
Like a lover waking you up
[Chorus]
I can see as much in the dark
Underneath the blanket of stars
As I can in dazzling sun
I'm outside I'm in love
I didn't notice that I was
Starting to feel
Home in the country
Changing what I'm making real
[Bridge]
Early and quiet
Sitting in the still of the morning
Slow like the heat of the day
I remember to breathe in
And thank everything
[Chorus]
I can see as much in the dark
Underneath the blanket of stars
As I can in dazzling sun
I'm outside I'm in love
I didn't notice that I was
Starting to feel
Home in the country
Changing what I'm making real
