Sufjan Stevens — Enchanting Ghost

Tell me what you saw in me And I’ll try to replicate it with a scene If it troubles you to breathe Wait a moment, I could change the scenery Don’t carry on carrying efforts, oh no, 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 Stopping you would stifle your enchanting ghost It’s only that I meant to bring Love and liveliness to your breast on the scene Did you cut your hands on me? Are my edges sharp? Am I a 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 I still have the things you gave me Four anointing oils, the paperweight you made For should 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 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
