to be alone with you - sufjan stevens - seven swans

I seem to have developed a sufjan stevens addiction

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

To be alone with me you went up on the tree

I'll never know the man who loved me

capo on 3

this cover is the best ive seen, but of course, you can't cover someone like sufjan.

Oh no worries I had no intentions of bringing Joe down. I think he is quite the musician. Its just that this song means something to me.. and I'm starting to think thats because only Sufjan knows the story, therefore, only he can represent it the way I associate with.

Joe, had to listen to this one again. So damn good. Peace.

[mmeowface]
