Testi musica - Sufjan Stevens - Raccolta - Barn Owl, Night Killer

 

 

 

 

 

All I had hoped for
I kept inside your car
The rabbit in the barn

Most of all, I wait
I wait beside the door
I wait beside the door

Though I was wrong
Trembling in the cage
I was diamonds in the rage

In seven hours
I considered death
And your father called to yell at me
You little boy, you little boy

Found out you cheated me
I ran behind the barn
And cut my hands somehow

Blood in the meadowlark
I punched your ears instead
I punched you in the head
You only laugh, and laugh, and laugh

How I was wrong
Tingling from the keel
Tickling me until
You devil bird, you evil still

I slept on my arms
Sleeping on the sill
I was sleeping in the room with you
You little boy, you little boy

How could you run from me now?
The loneliest chime in the house
The loneliest chime in the house
You let it out, you let it out

Come to your Calvary still
I'm bleeding and breaking in two
I'm bleeding in spite of my love
For you had bruised and bruised my will

Come to me here in the yellow plains
The breathing inside of the range
You touched me on the side of my ridge
Beneath my shirt your hands embraced me

Come to me feathered and frayed
For I am the ugliest prey
For I am the ugliest prey
The owl hoot and spread its wings

You said you'd wait for me
Down by the tannery creek
Far out by the clothesline
Where we used to kiss behind the sheets

Wrapped in a blanket of red
The owl and the tanager sat
The owl and the tanager said
One waits until the hour is death
