Sufjan Stevens Lonely Man Of Winter Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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]
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]
Oh, I would write the future
If I could put a finger on it
But I have no idea
If what I want is better than this

[Chorus 2]
Is it the lonely man of winter?
I could put my finger on that
Is it the lonely drive to Denver?
The loneliness of Hoppington's hat

[Chorus 3]
Is it the time we spent in silence?
Time will tell what winter he had
Is it the lonely man of winter?
I could put my finger on that

[Outro]
And even if it's Christmas
Could we just pretend for a bit
That everything we went through
Was someone else's carpenter kiss
