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

â??sinners they will burn foreverâ?
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

stumbling to Bethlehem
don't worry darling
yeah don't think twice


now you can count up all your blessings
you can count up every curse

but you never really know
which is better
or 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 feel twice

don't worry darling
yeah it's alright
