lyrics
It wasn’t that long ago I was a girl
And I was soft around the edges
and thought the world
Was a good place
Tonight I’m tired and aware
of how I miss the way I use to be
When I was only slightly green
and love could conquer anything
I wasn’t that long ago you were a boy
And you had sand between your fingers
and that was joy
As much as anything
Tonight you’re tired and you miss,
you miss the way things use to be
When you were only slightly green
and you could laugh at anything
Chorus
Kiss me
Take me back when we were free
Before time became our enemy
When the world was only you and me
And we were slightly green
You can’t stop the changing tide where it moves
Standing still time rushes by
and I feel like I been left behind
Tonight I’m tired an aware
of everything that’s swept away
And every sunlit yesterday
seems to cool and turn to grey
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
