Lyrics Sufjan Stevens

Sufjan Stevens

Enchanting Ghost

Tell me what you saw in me

And I'll try to replicate it with a scene

Mm-mmm

If it troubles you to breathe

Wait a moment; I could change the scenery

Don't carry on carrying efforts, no no, oh oh oh oh

Somewhere there's a room for each of us to grow

And if it pleases you to leave me, just go, oh oh oh oh

Stopping you would stifle your enchanting ghost

Mm-mmm

It's only that I meant to bring

Love and liveliness to your breast on the scene

Mm-mmm

Did you cut your hands on me?

Are my edges sharp? Am I pest to feed?

Don't carry on carrying regrets, oh no oh oh oh

Somewhere there's a room for us to speak alone

And if it grieves you to stay here, just go, oh oh oh oh

For I have no spell on you, it's all a ghost

Mm-mmm

I still have the things you gave

Four anointing oils, the paper weight you made

Mm-mmm

For sure I haven't carried them

Or buried them in the name of your ghost, my friend

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, just go, oh oh oh oh

Stopping you would stifle your enchanting ghost

Mm-mmm
