A Good Man Is Hard to Find Lyrics by Sufjan Stevens

Seven Swans

2004

Once in the backyard
She was once like me
She was once like me
Twice when I killed them
They were once at peace
They were once like me
Hold to your gun, man
And put off all your peace
And put off all the beast
Paid a full of these, I wait for it
But someone's once like me
She was once like me
I once was better
I put off all my grief
I put off all my grief
And so I go to hell, I wait for it
But someone's left me creased
And someone's left me creased
