Sufjan Stevens – Death with Dignity — Helado Negro Remix Lyrics

[Verse 1] Spirit of my silence I can hear you
But I’m afraid to be near you
And I don’t know where to begin
And I don’t know where to begin[Verse 2] Somewhere in the desert there’s a forest
And an acre before us
But I don’t know where to begin
But I don’t know where to begin
Again I’ve lost my strength completely, oh be near me
Tired old mare with the wind in your hair[Verse 3] Amethyst and flowers on the table, is it real or a fable?
Well I suppose a friend is a friend
And we all know how this will end[Verse 4] Chimney swift that finds me, be my keeper
Silhouette of the cedar
What is that song you sing for the dead?
What is that song you sing for the dead?
I see the signal searchlight strike me in the window of my room
Well I got nothing to prove
Well I got nothing to prove[Verse 5] I forgive you, mother, I can hear you
And I long to be near you
But every road leads to an end
Yes every road leads to an end
Your apparition passes through me in the willows
Five red hens – you’ll never see us again
You’ll never see us again
