A Good Man Is Hard To Find

Sufjan Stevens · Seven Swans [2004]

Once in the back yard

She was once like me, she was once like me

Twice when I killed them

They were once at peace, they were once like me

Hold to your gun man

And put off all the beast, and put off all the beast



And painful of these

I wait for it

But someone squawks like me

She was once like me



I once was better

I put off all my grief, I put off all my grief

And so I go to hell

I wait for it

But someone's left me creased, someone's left me grief
