enchanting ghost
sufjan stevens
tell me what you saw in me
and i'll try to replicate it with a scene
if it troubles you to breathe
wait a moment; i could change the scenery
don't carry on carrying efforts
somewhere there's a room for each of us to grow
and if it pleases you to leave me
stopping you would stifle your enchanting ghost
it's only that i meant to bring
love and liveliness to your breast on the scene
did you cut your hands on me?
are my edges sharp? am i pest to feed?
don't carry on carrying regrets
somewhere there's a room for us to speak alone
and if it grieves you to stay here
for i have no spell on you
i still have the things you gave
the paper weight you made
for sure i haven't carried them
or buried them in the name of your ghost
don't carry on carrying efforts: don't go! no oh oh oh
stay with me until i sleep within your host
or if it pleases you to leave me
stopping you would stifle your enchanting ghost
