Lonely Man of Winter - Sufjan Stevens

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

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 rate 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?

The silence of a 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
