And I would say I love you
But saying it out loud is hard
So I won’t say it at all
And I won’t stay very longBut you are life I needed all along
I think of you as my brother
Although that sounds dumb
And words are futile devices
You make it beautiful, friend.
You make it worth it, to the end.
You put a hole in my head, just like you put a fire in the tree.
Ever since dawn…
Ever since when…
You put the note in my pocket again, and you said you wanted to meet me at three.
I was invited for once… Yes, I was invited for once.
You make it difficult, friend.
You make it worth it, to the end.
You put a hole in our heads, just like you put a fire in the tree.
Ever since dawn…
Ever since three…
We made the plans at your party to be, and we tied the ribbon beside your back tree…
Yes, we tied it upside down.
Keep your bed warm, keep your humor, keep your proverbs short and sweet.
I’m sorry, I’m sorry, that life is anxious, life is mean.
I’m sorry, I’m sorry, a pair of shoes is what you need.
You’re like a bird that will not be.
I can see a lot of life in you
I can see a lot of bright in you
And I think the dress looks nice on you
I can see a lot of life in you
I can see a bed and make it too
I can see a fireside turn blue
And I can see the lot of life in you
Yes, I can see a lot of life in you
When the world looks back
when the face looks after that
I can see a lot of life in you
Yes, I can see a lot of life in you
I can see a lot of life in you
I can see your bed and make it too
And I think the dress looks nice on you
You make it beautiful, friend.
You make it worth it, to the end.
You put a hole in my head, just like you put a fire in the tree
Ever since dawn, ever since when, you put the note in my pocket again;
And you said you wanted to meet me at three.
I was invited for once.
Yes, I was invited for once
You make it difficult, friend.
You make it worth it, to the end.
You put a hole in our heads, just like you put a fire in the tree
Ever since dawn, ever since three, we made the plans at your party to be.
And we tied the ribbon beside your back tree;
Yes, we tied it upside down.
Yes, we tied it upside down…
Sufjan Stevens - Vito’s Ordination Song
“And when you write a poem
I know the words
I know the sounds
Before you write it down
When you wear your clothes
I wear them too
I wear your shoes
And your jacket too
I always knew you
In your mothers arms
I have called you son
I’ve made amends
Between father and son
Or, if you haven’t one
Rest in my arms
Sleep in my bed
There is a design
To what I did and said”
When your heirloom’s wilted brown
When the devil’s pushing down
When your mourning has a sound
And you hesitate to laugh
How quickly will your joy pass?
And when you walk inside I feel the door
I’ll never let it push your arms no more
And when your legs give out just lie right down
And I will kiss you till your breath is found.
