Stumbling To Bethlehem - Patti Scialfa

I was doing time in Salvation Park

Up on the high rope, me your ace of hearts

Just when I thought I was so special

I thought I had it all

You take a wrong step

Before you fall and you’re--

Stumbling to Bethlehem

In this absence of light

Stumbling to Bethlehem

Don’t worry darling

Yeah, don’t think twice

Now there’s this man on the corner

In a long black sweater saying

«Sinners they will burn forever!»

Well, I must be guilty of something

Some price I forgot to pay

I must have done somebody wrong

Somewhere along the way

That keeps me--

Stumbling to Bethlehem

In this absence of light

I’m stumbling to Bethlehem

Don’t worry darling

Yeah, don’t think twice

Stumbling to Bethlehem

I’m stumbling to Bethlehem

Now, you can count up all your blessings

You can count up every curse

But you never really know

Which is better and which is worse

So you try to do right

But it gets so rough

There’s always someone to remind you that you’re just not good enough

And you’re

Stumbling to Bethlehem

In this absence of light

I’m stumbling to Bethlehem

Don’t worry darling

Yeah, don’t think twice

Don’t worry darling

Yeah, it’s all right

I’m stumbling to Bethlehem

Stumbling to Bethlehem

Stumbling…

I’m stumbling (to Bethlehem)

I’m a-stumbling (to Bethlehem)

I’m a-stumbling (to Bethlehem)
