From The Mouth Of Gabriel - Sufjan Stevens

Desperate measures lead to death

From the mouth of Gabriel

Who died in his sleep when the world was a very big mess

A very big mess;

he saw too much

From now on I will look away from every accident

That may or may not come my way

Saw you were talking up above the Aleph room

Masquerading as a loom

Both of us saw things

No one else would see as well

From the mouth of Gabriel

No one else would hear as well

From the mouth of Gabriel

From the mouth of Gabriel

From the mouth of Gabriel

From the mouth of Gabriel

Don’t be so sure of what you feel, it might as well be trouble

From now on just let the universe be your shelter from the enemy

Your face has changed

I hardly know who you are this time

And what a mess I’ve made of you

You probably would but I won’t let you run away

You probably should but I won’t let you run away this time

Don’t be afraid of loneliness, some refugee beside itself

Instead of what you’ve got

You probably would but I won’t let you go away

You probably should but I won’t let you go away this time

Your face has changed

I hardly know who you are this time

And when I came into your room

You tried to jump

Now I know this is strange to hear from the mouth of God

It was something like a scene from Mars

In a struggle between loves and lies

The angel kept his face covered for to keep his word

And while I spoke something left from my life

Forget about the past

Be at rest I’ll make things right

And while I held you at best you nearly died

Forget about the past

And I’ll try to make things right
