Sufjan Stevens - Lonely Man of Winter

In the world that you would make up With unicorns and buffalo backs I know that you would wake up With the sunny side touching your back 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 Oh, I would write the future If I could put a finger on it But I have no idea If what I want is better than this 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 Is it the time we spent in silence? Time will tell what winter he had 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 someone else's carpenter kiss
