don't worry I won't leave
not fool enough to believe
that there's some world out there
beating down my door
that there's some world out there
I haven't had before
before I met you I was kind
before I met you I was fine
and I knew how to hold my tongue
I was infinitely young
take me to Bethlehem
so I can be myself again
take me to Bethlehem
and when I find you there I'll be home
don't worry I won't go
not fool enough to know
that there's someone out there
waiting just for me
that there's someone out there
who'd really let me be me
before I met you I was kind
before I met you I was fine
and I knew how to hold my tongue
I was infinitely young
take me to Bethlehem
so I can be myself again
take me to Bethlehem
and when I find you there I'll be home
I'll be infinitely young
and I'll know how to hold my tongue
Introspective, homespun folk tunes from John Donne that feel informed by the sugary bleakness of '80s and '90s indie pop. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 1, 2023
