Cover art for I Was Young When I Left Home (Bob Dylan cover) lyrics by Antony and the Johnsons

This was actually performed by Antony Hegarty (of Antony & the Johnsons) and Bryce Dessner (of The National); billing it as an "Antony & the Johnsons" song isn't really correct, as the Johnsons had nothing to do with it. Appeared on the Dark Was the Night compilation put together by Bryce and Aaron Dessner.

Also, beautiful song. His voice is so perfectly attuned to this beautiful song of regret, loneliness, and homesickness.
