Just a little whisper
Tell me something new
Just a sweet meander
I'll go there with you
Tell me all your secrets
I'll let you in on mine
We can smoke cigarettes
Dance the night away in time
Time runs out in the morning
When the lights come on & I'm yawning
All the time runs out in the morning
Can you help me out I think I must be falling
Hold my hand my darlin'
We can find a way
Dance like no-one's watching
In the summer rain
A candle in the corner
Of a darkened room
Makes everything better
Emily, it's only you
You I want in the morning
When the lights come on & I'm yawning
Oh it's you, Emily, in the morning
Who can keep this night alive & plans from falling
When everyone's pretending
Wearing phoney masks
All this time I'm spending
Always runs out fast
First we share a moment
Across a crowded room
Conversation dies down
Emily, it's only you
You I want in the morning
When the lights come on & I'm yawning
Oh it's you, Emily, in the morning
Who can keep this night from falling
'Cause when time runs out in the daylight
Emily, it's you in the spotlight
& if you say that it'll be alright
Then we can set this town alight
Tonight.
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
