I lost myself amongst the trees
While the breeze blew and swayed
With colors that swirled around me
Oh every day I feel I'm slipping away
From the man I thought
I thought I could be
So much more than this
Life was better when I risked it all
And let myself go
I let myself fall
Into into the void
Where I made so much noise
And I found myself again
In the comfort of your bed
Where the days just seemed to go
By so slowly
Oh I hope the glow
Never fades away
Oh babe don’t fade away
Evangeline evangeline
Won’t you come back to me
And lift this weight up off my shoulders
And hold me like you used to do
Back when your love
Was the fountain of youth
And I could swim
I could sink
I would drink from your shores
Where I may live forevermore
Inside your eyes
Like before
For the first time
You were all mine
I was holding on to hope
That one day you’d say
Baby find your way
And we’ll meet again
Further down the road
Oh baby just let go
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
