SUFJAN STEVENS
"Lonely Man Of Winter (Doveman Mix)"
feat. Melissa Mary Ahern

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

[Chorus 1:]
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 my finger on it
But I have no idea
If what I want is better than this

[Chorus 2:]
Is it the lonely man of Christmas?
He's hoping for a break in the plan
Is it the lonely drive to Denver?
The loneliness of holding your hand

[Chorus 3:]
Is it the time we spent in silence
The silence of a wintery head
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 something so much better than this

[Instrumental Outro]
