Death with Dignity

Sufjan Stevens · Carrie & Lowell [2015]

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, or 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 on the seater

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 aberration passes through me, in the willows and five red hens

You'll never see us again

You'll never see us again
