Song

To Be Alone with You

Sufjan Stevens

Seven Swans, 2004, English

Lyrics

Pick up to six lines to make a card.

I'd swim across Lake Michigan
I'd sell my shoes
I'd give my body to be back again
In the rest of the room
To be alone with you
To be alone with you
To be alone with you
To be alone with you
You gave your body to the lonely
They took your clothes
You gave up a wife and a family
You gave your ghost
To be alone with me
To be alone with me
To be alone with me
You went up on a tree
Aah, aah, aah
To be alone with me
You went up on the tree
Aah, aah, aah
I've never known a man who loved me
Aah, aah, aah
