Sufjan Stevens — Lonely Man of Winter

[Verse 1] In the world that you would make up With unicorns and buffalo packs 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 [Verse 2] Oh, I would rate the future If I could put a finger on it But I have no idea If what I want is better than this [Chorus 2] Is it the lonely man of winter? I could put my finger on that Is it the lonely drive to Denver? The loneliness of Hoppington's hat [Chorus 3] Is it the time we spent in silence? The silence of a winter he had Is it the lonely man of winter? I could put my finger on that [Outro] And even if it's Christmas Could we just pretend for a bit That everything we went through Was someone else's carpenter kiss
