Sufjan Stevens - Lonely Man of Winter (feat. Melissa Mary Ahern) [Doveman Mix]

In the world that you would make up
With unicorns and buffalo backs
I hope that you could wake up
With the sunny side touching your back

Is it the lonely man of Christmas?
I'm 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

Is it the lonely man of winter?
He's hoping for a break in the plan
Is it the lonely drive to Denver?
The loneliness of holding your hand

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
