John My Beloved Lyrics - Carrie & Lowell - 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
