Enchanting Ghost

Enchanting Ghost - Sufjan Stevens

Tell me what you saw in me

And I'll try to replicate

It with a scene

Mm-mmm

If it troubles you to breathe

Wait a moment

I could change the scenery

Don't carry on carrying efforts

No 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

Mm-mmm

It's only that I meant to bring

Love and liveliness

To your breast on the scene

Mm-mmm

Did you cut your hands on me

Are my edges sharp

Am I 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

Mm-mmm

I still have the things you gave

Four anointing oils

The paper weight you made

Mm-mmm

For sure 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

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

Mm-mmm
