作曲 : Sufjan Stevens

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

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 lost my strength completely

Oh, be near me, tired old mare

With the wind in your hair

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

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

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 and five red hens

You'll never see us again

You'll never see us again
