Lonely Man of Winter (Doveman Mix) Lyrics by Sufjan Stevens

Lonely Man of Winter

2018

[Verse 1: Sufjan Stevens & Melissa Mary Ahern]
In the world that you would make up
With unicorns and buffalo backs
I know that you would wake up
With the sunny side touching your back
[Chorus 1: Sufjan Stevens & Melissa Mary Ahern]
Is it the lonely man of Christmas?
Coming up with theories on him
Is it the lonely man of Christmas?
He's riding in the devil's abyss
[Verse 2: Sufjan Stevens & Melissa Mary Ahern]
Oh I would write the future
If I could put my finger on it
But I have no idea
If what I want is better than this
[Chorus 2: Sufjan Stevens & Melissa Mary Ahern]
Is it the lonely man of Christmas?
He's hoping for a break in the plan
Is it the lonely drive to Denver?
The loneliness of holding your hand
[Chorus 3; Sufjan Stevens & Melissa Mary Ahern]
Is it the time we spent in silence
The silence of a wintery head
Is it the lonely man of winter?1
I could put my finger on that
[Verse 3: Sufjan Stevens & Melissa Mary Ahern]
And even if it's Christmas
Could we just pretend for a bit
That everything we went through
Was something so much better than this
[Instrumental Outro]
