Enchanting Ghost - Sufjan Stevens

Tell me what you saw in me

And I’ll try to replicate it with a scene

If it troubles you to breathe

Wait a moment;

I could change the scenery

Don’t carry on carrying efforts, oh no, oh oh oh oh

Somewhere there’s a room for each of us to grow

And if it pleases you to leave me, just go, oh oh oh oh

Stopping you would stifle your enchanting ghost

It’s only that I meant to bring

Love and liveliness to your breast on the scene

Did you cut your hands on me?

Are my edges sharp?

Am I a pest to feed?

Don’t carry on carrying regrets, oh no oh oh oh

Somewhere there’s a room for us to speak alone

And if it grieves you to stay here, just go, oh oh oh oh

For I have no spell on you, it’s all a ghost

I still have the things you gave me

Four anointing oils, the paperweight you made

For should I haven’t carried them

Or buried them in the name of your ghost, my friend

Don’t carry on carrying efforts: Don’t go!

No oh oh oh

Stay with me until I sleep within your host

Or if it pleases you to leave me, just go, oh oh oh oh

Stopping you would stifle your enchanting ghost
