Drawn to the Blood

Sufjan Stevens · Carrie & Lowell [2015]

I'm drawn to the blood

The flight of a one-winged dove

How? How did this happen?

How? How did this happen?



The strength of his arm

My lover caught me off guard

How? Head of a rabbit

How? Head of a rabbit



For my prayer has always been love

What did I do to deserve this?



With blood on my sleeve

Delilah, avenge my grief

How? God of Elijah

How? God of Elijah



As fire to the sun

Tell me what I have done

How? Heart of a dragon

How? Heart of a dragon



For my prayer has always been love

What did I do to deserve this now?

How did this happen?
