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
I’ve been waiting for a full length of this for so long, thank you for posting 🫶 Lizzy x Sufjan is my dream
Sufjan Stevens…. She has class!!! Perfect match.
her upper register is magic ❤
her voice is so mesmerizing
I saw this at lollapalooza, in chicago, and I really hoped someone had a full recording. Thank you!
oh my gosh i didn’t know she had sung this. full body chills, i couldn’t imagine a more beautiful cover since the original means so much to me :’)
ugh I love this cover sm
omg i heard her singing this in philly and it was literally magical😭🥰
This is one of the most heartbreaking Sufjan song .
So pretty!!
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
❤
