Sufjan Stevens - From the Mouth of Gabriel lyrics
[Sufjan Stevens - From the Mouth of Gabriel lyrics]
From the mouth of Gabriel
Who died in his sleep when the
World was a very big mess a very big mess
He saw too much from now on I will look
Away from every accident
That may or may not come my way
Saw you were talking up above the Aleph room
Masquerading as a loom both of us saw things
No one else would see as well
From the mouth of Gabriel
No one else would hear as well
From the mouth of Gabriel
From the mouth of Gabriel
From the mouth of Gabriel
From the mouth of Gabriel
Don’t be so sure of what you feel
It might as well be trouble
From now on just let the universe
Be your shelter from the enemy
Your face has changed
I hardly know who you are this time
And what a mess I’ve made of you
You probably would but I won’t
Let you run away
You probably should but I won’t let
You run away this time
Don’t be afraid of loneliness
Some refugee beside it'self
Instead of what you’ve got
You probably would but I won’t
Let you go away
You probably should but I won’t let
You go away this time
Your face has changed
I hardly know who you are this time
And when I came into your room
You tried to jump
Now I know this is strange to
Hear from the mouth of God
It was something like a scene from Mars
In a struggle between loves and lies
The angel kept his face covered
For to keep his word
And while I spoke something left from my life
Forget about the past
Be at rest I’ll make things right
And while I held you at best you nearly died
Forget about the past
And I’ll try to make things right
