Lonely Man of Winter (feat. Melissa Mary Ahern) [Doveman Mix] - Sufjan Stevens

In the world that you would make up With unicorns and buffalo backs I know that you would wake up With the sunny side touching your back Is it the lonely man of Christmas? Coming up with theories on him Is it the lonely man of Christmas? He's riding in the devil's abyss Oh, I would write the future If I could put a finger on it But I have no idea If what I want is better than this Is it the lonely man of winter? I could put my finger on that Is it the lonely drive to Denver? The loneliness of Hoppington's hat Is it the time we spent in silence? Time will tell what winter he had Is it the lonely man of winter? I could put my finger on that And even if it's Christmas Could we just pretend for a bit That everything we went through Was someone else's carpenter kiss

Thinking about where to begin Open my eyes to realize that I was sleeping And all these thoughts they have been consuming The world so heavy, in a time like this Is this a bad dream, is this reality? Locked up from normal life not knowing what to feel With propaganda and fear, it feels as if the end is near Watch us as we rise, fighting for today! Tomorrow we'll be stronger yeah we'll push through this pain and Rise, climb back to the top Drifting through the clouds, uplift and never stop, we'll rise... It's funny to think that all we want is things we had before The life that we didn't appreciate we never needed more All of my questions are answers to myself All of our endings are waiting to begin so Rise, fighting for today! Tomorrow we'll be stronger yeah we'll push through this pain and Rise, climb back to the top Drifting through the clouds, uplift and never stop, we'll rise... Let's fight with all our might Raise the things that throw us back And watch we equate to get it right The burden seems so heavy So hard to make a strive Hey my people get ready No more we waste no time We live to paint history We got no shameful past Oh yes I see the victory And good must come at last This life without no mystery No blindfolding take out the mask We won't stop until the domino fall I know we must survive a truth seeker Yes we won't be guilty of no crime for what life become we know What it would be like we in a danger Difficult man open up your eyes yeah Yes my people rise, listen more and slow down and Stop for a moment, take a breath and then go We rise up, appreciate the family Tell them that you care, it excites them when you share Watch us as we rise, fighting through today! Tomorrow we'll be stronger yeah we'll push through this pain and Rise, climb back to the top Drifting through the clouds, uplift and never stop We'll rise, fighting for today! Tomorrow we'll be stronger yeah we'll push through this pain and Rise, climb back to the top Drifting through the clouds, uplift and never stop, we'll rise...

When a deep purple falls over sleepy garden walls And the stars begin to twinkle in the night In the mist of a memory you wander back to me Breathing my name with a sigh In the still of the night once again I hold you tight Though you're gone, your love lives on when moonlight beams And as long as my heart will beat, lover we'll always meet Here in my deep purple dreams Here in my deep purple dreams When a deep purple falls over sleepy garden walls And the stars begin to twinkle in the night Through the mist of a memory you wander back to me Breathing my name with a sigh In the still of the night once again I hold you tight Though you're gone, your love lives on when moonlight beams And as long as my heart will beat, lover we'll always meet Here in my deep purple dreams Here in my deep purple dreams

When the deep purple falls over sleepy garden walls And the stars begin to flicker in the sky Through the mist of a memory you wander back to me Breathing my name with a sigh In the still of the night once again I hold you tight Though you're gone, your love lives on when moonlight beams And as long as my heart will beat, lover we'll always meet Here in my deep purple dreams Here in my deep purple dreams
