Damascus

Sufjan Stevens

Compositor: Sufjan Stevens

Does the border temple fall down
I fall down
When the approaching light in me has stayed
It takes me back
Do you float the sanctuary
And bury
What a messenger can trade in trades in

Takes me back against the everglades
Back against the out-of-state
This is the last place I go for now
It takes me back (back against the everglades)
It takes me back (back against the out-of-state)
This is the last place I go to
It takes me back (back against the everglades)
It takes me back (back against the out-of-state)
This is the last thing I say

Does it matter that I fall down
My wall down
When the border is inside or remained
Brings me back
Do you know the adversary
And carry
All the burdens of peoples' pasts

Takes me back against the everglades
Back against the out-of-state
This is the last place I go for now
It takes me back (back against the everglades)
It takes me back (back against the out-of-state)
This is the last place I go
It takes me back (back against the everglades)
It takes me back (back against the out-of-state)
This is the last thing I say
It takes me back (back against the everglades)
It takes me back (back against the out-of-state)
This is the last thing I say

The road can be stronger
The road can lay longer
The road can . . .
The road can lay longer
The road can be stronger
The road can . . .
The road can lay longer
The road can be stronger
