Sufjan Stevens - Heirloom lyrics
[Sufjan Stevens - Heirloom lyrics]
When your heirloom’s wilted brown
When the devil’s pushing down
When your mourning has a sound
And you hesitate to laugh
How quickly will your joy pass?
How quickly will your joy pass?
And when you walk inside I feel the door
I’ll never let it push your arms no more
And when your legs give out
Just lie right down
And I will kiss you till your breath is found
And when you walk inside I feel the door
I’ll never let it push your arms no more
La, la, la la la la la la
La, la, la la la la la la
So do you think I came to fight?
And do I always think I’m right? Oh no
I never meant to be a
Pest to anyone this time oh no
I only meant to be a
Friend to everyone this time
And when you walk inside I feel the door
I’ll never let it push your arms no more
And when your legs give out
Just lie right down
And I will kiss you till your breath is found
And when you walk inside I feel the door
I’ll never let it push your arms no more
When the devil’s pushing down
When your mourning has a sound
And you hesitate to laugh
How quickly will your joy pass?
How quickly will your joy pass?
And when you walk inside I feel the door
I’ll never let it push your arms no more
And when your legs give out
Just lie right down
And I will kiss you till your breath is found
And when you walk inside I feel the door
I’ll never let it push your arms no more
La, la, la la la la la la
La, la, la la la la la la
So do you think I came to fight?
And do I always think I’m right? Oh no
I never meant to be a
Pest to anyone this time oh no
I only meant to be a
Friend to everyone this time
And when you walk inside I feel the door
I’ll never let it push your arms no more
And when your legs give out
Just lie right down
And I will kiss you till your breath is found
And when you walk inside I feel the door
I’ll never let it push your arms no more
