[Sufjan Stevens - Carol of St. Benjamin the Bearded One lyrics]
I can see you there
Oh, in the snowbank with the
Snowman at your side
And in my heart and in my spirit I concede
The things you want in life
You have to really need
This is a matter of life
Only parents cry oh, when they want to show
The world they're still alive
And in my heart and in my spirit I believe
The draft beneath the doorframe
Comes to challenge me
This is a matter of life
Oh, be kind to me oh, Benjamin who keeps his
Hands inside his sleeves
And in my heart and in my spirit I can read
The way he brushed his beard
Against the cedar tree
Keeping his eyes upon me
I can see you there
Oh, in the snowbank with the
Snowman at your side
And in my heart and in my spirit I concede
The things you want in life
You have to really need
Oh, in the snowbank with the
Snowman at your side
And in my heart and in my spirit I concede
The things you want in life
You have to really need
This is a matter of life
Only parents cry oh, when they want to show
The world they're still alive
And in my heart and in my spirit I believe
The draft beneath the doorframe
Comes to challenge me
This is a matter of life
Oh, be kind to me oh, Benjamin who keeps his
Hands inside his sleeves
And in my heart and in my spirit I can read
The way he brushed his beard
Against the cedar tree
Keeping his eyes upon me
I can see you there
Oh, in the snowbank with the
Snowman at your side
And in my heart and in my spirit I concede
The things you want in life
You have to really need
