Death With Dignity

Biography:

Sufjan Stevens (Born July 1, 1975) is an American musician, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist from Petoskey, Michigan. He is known for his lyrically focused and instrumentally rich songs that often relate to faith and family. He has enjoyed wide critical success in the United States. He is considered part of the folk revival through indie pop, but his influences are very broad, including experimental electronic music, the jazz of Vince Guaraldi, and the academic minimalism of Steve Reich and Philip Glass.

G C D
Spirit of my silence I can hear you, but I'm afraid to be near you
Am B/C C
And I don't know where to begin
Am B/C C
And I don't know where to begin

G C D
Somewhere in the desert there's a forest, and an acre before us
Am B/C C
But I don't know where to begin
Am B/C C
But I don't know where to begin
D Am B/C
Again I lost my strength completely, oh, be near me, tired old
C
mare
B/C C
With the wind in your hair

//Repeat throughout song

Amethyst and flowers on the table, is it real or a fable?
Well, I suppose a friend is a friend
And we all know how this will end

Chimney swift that finds me be my keeper,
Silhouette of the cedar
What is that song you sing for the dead?
What is that song you sing for the dead?

I see the signal searchlight strike me in the window of my room
Well, I got nothing to prove
Well, I got nothing to prove

I forgive you, mother, I can hear you,
And I long to be near you
But every road leads to an end
Yes, every road leads to an end

Your apparition passes through me in the willows and five red hens
You'll never see us again
You'll never see us again
