sufjan stevens john my beloved Lyrics, singer by SUFJAN STEVENS

are we to speak, first day of the week
stumbling words at the bar
beauty blue eyes, my order of fries
long island kindness and wine
beloved of john, i get it all wrong
i read you for some kind of poem
covered in lines, the fossils i find
have they no life of their own?

so can we pretend sweetly
before the mystery ends?
i am a man with a heart that offends
with its lonely and greedy demands
there�s only a shadow of me in a manner of speaking i'm dead

such a waste, your beautiful face
stumbling carpet arise
go follow your gem, your white feathered friend
icarus, point to the sun
if history speaks of two baby teeth
i�m painting the hills blue and red
they said beware, lord hear my prayer
i�ve wasted my throes on your head

so can we be friends, sweetly
before the mystery ends?
i love you more than the world can contain
in its lonely and ramshackle head
there�s only a shadow of me in a manner of speaking i'm dead

i�m holding my breath
my tongue on your chest
what can be said of my heart?
if history speaks, the kiss on my cheek
where there remains but a mark
beloved my john, so i�ll carry on
counting my cards down to one
and when i am dead, come visit my bed
my fossil is bright in the sun

so can we contend, peacefully
before my history ends?
jesus i need you, be near, come shield me
from fossils that fall on my head
there�s only a shadow of me in a manner of speaking i'm dead

sufjan stevens carrie and lowell

carrie and lowell
such a long time ago
like a dead horse
meadowlark drive your arrow

season of hope (after the flood)
valentine, spurn my sorrow
head on the floorboards (covered in blood)
drunk as a horsefly
climb on the mattress pad
twist my arm

under the pear tree
shadows and light conspiring
covered bridge, i scream
cottage grove shade invite me

i will bow down (dido�s lament)
lord of the ancient waters
from the backyard (as far as she went)
carrie surprised me
erebus on my back
my lucky charm

carried by stones
fairyland all around us
like a dead horse
sign of your children�s fever

carrie, come home
(thorazine�s friend)
holding your hands with opai
like a dead horse
(shall we ascend)
flight of the mayfly
ephemera on my back
she breaks my arm

sufjan stevens the only thing

the only thing that keeps me from driving this car
half light, jack knife into the canyon at night
signs and wonders: perseus aligned with the skull
slain medusa, pegasus alight from us all

do i care if i survive this? bury the dead where they�re found
in a veil of great surprises i wonder did you love me at all?

the only thing that keeps me from cutting my arm
cross hatch, warm bath, holiday inn after dark
signs and wonders: water stain writing the wall
daniel�s message blood of the moon on us all

do i care if i despise this? nothing else matters, i know
in a veil of great disguises how do i live with your ghost?

should i tear my eyes out now?
everything i see returns to you somehow
should i tear my heart out now?
everything i feel returns to you somehow
i want to save you from your sorrow

the only reason why i continue at all
faith in reason, i wasted my life playing dumb
signs and wonders: sea lion caves in the dark
blind faith, god�s grace, nothing else left to impart

do i care if i survive this, bury the dead where they�re found
in a veil of great surprises hold to my head till i drown
should i tear my eyes out now, before i see too much?
should i tear my arms out now, i wanna feel your touch

should i tear my eyes out now?
everything i see returns to you somehow
should i tear my heart out now?
everything i feel returns to you somehow

sufjan stevens fourth of july

the evil it spread like a fever ahead
it was night when you died, my firefly
what could i have said to raise you from the dead?
oh could i be the sky on the fourth of july?

well you do enough talk
my little hawk, why do you cry?
tell me what did you learn from the tillamook burn?
or the fourth of july?
we�re all gonna die

sitting at the bed with the halo at your head
was it all a disguise, like junior high
where everything was fiction, future, and prediction
now, where am i? my fading supply

did you get enough love, my little dove
why do you cry?
and i�m sorry i left, but it was for the best
though it never felt right
my little versailles

the hospital asked should the body be cast
before i say goodbye, my star in the sky
such a funny thought to wrap you up in cloth
do you find it all right, my dragonfly?

shall we look at the moon, my little loon
why do you cry?
make the most of your life, while it is rife
while it is light

well you do enough talk
my little hawk, why do you cry?
tell me what did you learn from the tillamook burn?
or the fourth of july?
we�re all gonna die

sufjan stevens eugene

light struck from the lemon tree
what if i�d never seen hysterical light from eugene?
lemon yoghurt, remember i pulled at your shirt
i dropped the ashtray on the floor
i just wanted to be near you

emerald park, wonders never cease
the man who taught me to swim, he couldn't quite say my first name
like a father he led community water on my head
and he called me �subaru�
and now i want to be near you

since i was old enough to speak i've said it with alarm
some part of me was lost in your sleeve
where you hid your cigarettes
no i�ll never forget
i just want to be near you

still i pray to what i cannot see
in the sprinkler i mark the evidence known from the start
from the bed near your death, and all the machines that made a mess
far away the falcon flew
now i want to be near you

what�s left is only bittersweet
for the rest of my life, admitting the best is behind me
now i�m drunk and afraid, wishing the world would go away
what�s the point of singing songs
if they�ll never even hear you?

sufjan stevens drawn to the blood

i�m drawn to the blood
the flight of a one winged dove
how? how did this happen?
how? how did this happen?

the strength of his arm
my lover caught me off guard
how? head of a rabbit
how? head of a rabbit

for my prayer has always been love
what did i do to deserve this?

with blood on my sleeve
delilah, avenge my grief
how? god of elijah
how? god of elijah

as fire to the sun
tell me what i have done
how? heart of a dragon
how? heart of a dragon

for my prayer has always been love
what did i do to deserve this now?
how did this happen?

sufjan stevens all of me wants all of you

shall we beat this or celebrate it?
you�re not the one to talk things through
you checked your texts while i masturbated
manelich, i feel so used

found myself on spencer�s butte
traced your shadow with my shoe
empty outline changed my view
now all of me thinks less of you

on the sheet i see your horizon
all of me pressed onto you
but in this light you look like poseidon
i�m just a ghost you walk right through

saw myself on spencer�s butte (all of me wants all of you)
landscape changed my point of view (all of me wants all of you)
revelation may come true (all of me wants all of you)
now all of me thinks less of you (all of me wants all of you)

(all of me wants all of you)
