Sufjan Stevens Şarkı Sözleri

Up in the highest of heights, O'Hara blinks and fights
This land is yours, this land is mine
I see the captain in red and Cairo at his head
This land is yours, this land is mine

The lightning over the park, the waters, brash and dark
We take a swim, we take a swim
I never meant to escape the carpet and the trade
This land is yours, this land is mine

And when I make up my mind, I change it all the time
I take it back, I take it back
The numbers over the dam, Jo Davies and the band
I count them out, I count them out

There was a car in the bay, by the boat that swept and swayed
Whoever you are in the light, in the water that we made
I'm counting it out, I'm counting it out, I'm working it out
Inside, I'm counting it out from the floor

The ferry hatches Moline, Panola Beauty Queen
She takes a bow, she takes a bow

In Charles, we climb the hill and Danville window sill
I take it back, I take it back

My sister she counts the bars, the Macon county cars
She takes a bow, she takes a bow
The Mississippi amends, the Carver and the bends
This land is yours, this land is mine

My brother punches my ear, the injured ivory deer
I call my dad, I call my dad
We skip inside of the store, the Mason winter door
This land is yours, this land is mine

There was a car in the bay, by the boat that swept and swayed
Whoever you are in the light, in the water that we made
I'm holding your hand by the shore with our collars pulled up tight
I'm counting it out, I'm counting it out, I'm working it out inside

I'm counting it out, I'm counting it out, I'm working it out inside
I'm counting it out

This land is not your land, for the right hand
Takes what it can, ransacks with the mad man
For this land is not yours or mine to have
This land was made for the good of itself

Only to bring you peace, only at Christmas time
Only the King of kings, only what once was mine
It takes the end of time, it takes a long, long time
Only one thought of mine, only at Christmas time

He brings us peace, He brings us joy
He brings all faults to destroy, only at Christmas time
To bring us peace, to bring us joy
To bring all faults to destroy, only at Christmas time

Only at Christmas time, only a tree to climb
Only at Christmas time, if you can read the sign
Only at Christmas time,
Only at Christmas time, only at Christmas time

I'm not afraid of you now, I know
So I climbed down from the bunk beds this low
I can talk back to you now, I know
From a few things I learned from this TV show

You can work late till midnight, we don't care
We can fix our own meals, we can wash our own hair
I go to school before sunrise, in the cold
And I pulled the alarm and I kicked up the salad bowls

Since that time we meant to say much
Unsaid things begin to change
After school we shoveled through the snow
Drive upstate in silence in the cold

You can remind me of it that I was lazy and tired
You can work all your life as I'm not afraid of you anymore

If I loved you a long time, I don't know
If I can't recall the last time you told me so
Here in this house in Pittsfield

The ghost of our grandmother works at the sewing machine post

Hiding the bills in the kitchen on the floor
And my sister lost her best friend in the Persian Gulf War
There was a flood in the bathroom last May
And you kicked at the pipes when it rattled, oh the river it made

Stand there, tell me that I'm of no use
Things unspoken break us if we share
There's still time to wash the kitchen floor
On your knees, at the sink once more

You can remind me that I was tired
You can work late and give yourself up
Now that I'm older, wiser, and working less
I don't regret having left the place a mess

You can remind me that I was lazy and tired
You can recall your life as I'm not afraid of you anymore
Anymore

Peoria, destroyia
Infinity, divinity

For Lydia, Octavia
And Jack-of-Trades
The Cubs, hooray

The Opera House
Where Emma sang
America, oh will it play?

And Santa Clause
The Great Parade
Peoria
You have it made

Into the crossfire, faithfully run
Middle America, one on one
Peoria
We saddle the fun times

Put the lights on the tree
(Put them on the tree, put them on the tree)
Put the ribbon on the wreath
(Put it on the wreath, put it on the wreath)

And call your grandma on the phone
(Call her on the phone, call her on the phone)
If she's living all alone
(If she's all alone, if she's all alone)

Tell her Jesus Christ is here
(Tell her He is here, tell her He is here, tell her He is here)
Tell her she has none to fear
(There is none to fear, there is none to fear, there is none to fear)

If she's crying on the phone
(Crying on the phone, crying on the phone, crying on the phone)
Tell her you are coming home
(You are coming home, you are coming home)

La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la

I'm taking you down to the place in the field
And when I find you underneath the grass

I know you feel this way, you feel this way
Because I know you and I feel you
And I feed you rice pudding at the benefit concert
Yeah baby, I feed you rice pudding at the concert

What's the worth of
All the work of my hands?
And the worst of
On Lake Michigan

Getting solid walls with the know-it-alls
Get in trouble with Saul Bellow
Getting solid walls with the know-it-alls
Get in trouble with Saul Bellow

And my good friends
With their eyes on what it takes
[ kaynak: http://sarki.alternatifim.com/goster.asp?ac=85519 ]
I could kiss them
But the reeling's make mistakes

Getting solid walls with the know-it-alls
Get in trouble with Saul Bellow
Getting solid walls with the know-it-alls
Get in trouble with Saul Bellow

Getting solid walls and with what it calls
Get in trouble with Saul Bellow
Getting solid walls with the know-it-alls
Get in trouble with Saul Bellow

We didn't sleep too late
There was a fire in the yard
All of the trees were in light
They had no faces to show

I saw a light in the sky
Seven swans, seven swans, seven swans
I heard a voice in, in my mind
"I will try, I will try, I will try"

We saw the dragon move down
My father burned into coal
My mother saw it from far
She took her purse to the bed

I saw a sign in the sky
Seven horns, seven horns, seven horns.
I heard a voice in my mind
"I am Lord, I am Lord, I am Lord"

He said, "I am Lord, I am Lord, I am Lord"
He said, "I am Lord, I am Lord, I am Lord"
He will take you, if you run
He will chase you, He is the Lord

What the water wants is hurricanes
And sailboats to ride on its back
What the water wants is sun kiss
And land to run into and back

I have a fish stone burning my elbow
Reminding me to know that I'm glad

That I have a bottle filled with my old teeth
They fell out like a tear in the bag

And I have a sister somewhere in Detroit
She has black hair and small hands
And I have a kettledrum, I'll hit the earth with you
And I will crochet you a hat

And I have a red kite, I'll put you right in it
I'll show you the sky

I was the best man
In a size too small
You were my best friend
Going at it all

And what if I
Put off my inheritance?
Where is the best man?
All arise us all in peace

I still know you
And I still like you
The best man
I still owe you

Everything rises
Going at it all
All the surprises
In a size too small

And what if I
Told you I was in love with this?
Would you surprise us
In a size for all of me?

I still know you
And I still like you
The best man

I still know you
The best man
I still owe you
