[Verse 1]
C F Bb F
Across the railroad tracks, down the gravel road
C Dm C Bb
headlights throw a beam on the way back home.
C F Bb F
Lie down, lie down, listen wide awake
C F Bb
To the trains that roll, to the sound time makes.
[Verse 2]
C F Bb F
It passes through the air like a summer storm
C Dm C Bb
Catching on my sleeve like a rose's thorn.
C F Bb F
Sometimes it whispers, sometimes it roars
C F Bb
Flies like the wind, waits by the door.
[Refrain]
F Bb F Dm F
And I know you know and that’s all I need

When the light of day looks like night to me

When you’re far away and I’m all alone

I can’t explain, I know you know.

It fills up my chest, it fills up my eyes

like an old glass jar filled with fireflies.

Sometimes I’m lost and I don’t know why
[Refrain]
F Bb F Dm F
But I know you know and that’s all I need

When the light of day looks like night to me.

When you’re far away and I’m all alone

I can’t explain, I know you know.
