音乐是岸

Lyrics

Golden rod and the 4-H stone
The things I brought you
When I found out you had cancer of the bone

Your father cried on the telephone
And he drove his car to the Navy yard
Just to prove that he was sorry

In the morning through the window shade
When the light pressed up against your shoulder blade
I could see what you were reading

Oh the glory that the lord has made
And the complications you could do without
When I kissed you on the mouth

Tuesday night at the bible study
We lift our hands and pray over your body
But nothing ever happens

I remember at Michael's house
In the living room when you kissed my neck
And I almost touched your blouse

In the morning at the top of the stairs
When your father found out what we did that night
And you told me you were scared

Oh the glory when you ran outside
With your shirt tucked in and your shoes untied
And you told me not to follow you

Sunday night when I cleaned the house
I find the card where you wrote it out
With the pictures of your mother

On the floor at the great divide
With my shirt tucked in and my shoes untied
I am crying in the bathroom

In the morning when you finally go
And the nurse runs in with her head hung low
And the cardinal hits the window

In the morning in the winter shade
On the first of March on the holiday
I thought I saw you breathing

Oh the glory that the lord has made
And the complications when I see his face
In the morning in the window

Oh the glory when he took our place
But he took my shoulders and he shook my face
And he takes and he takes and he takes 

Sufjan Stevens myspace

备用视听

痛苦的忠诚，和辛酸的幸福。

歌曲背景：他喜欢的一个女孩被诊断出患上了骨癌，他一直在为她祈祷。

也有人说这首歌的宗教气氛太浓，也有人说这首歌表达的是宗教的伪善.

都阻止不了它成为一首杰作。

1975年的7月1日，密歇根州底特律城，Stevens夫妇在家门口发现了一个牛奶箱
里面装着一个用塑料纸包裹的婴儿，它的手腕上系着一张神秘的字条：’I love you’
这个婴儿就是后来的Sufjan Stevens。名字’Sufjan Stevens’
–来源于一个伟大的亚美尼亚苏非派武士’Abu Sufjan Muhammad’
他曾为了解救’仙女公主’英勇地杀死了万条火龙。
