To be alone with me you went up on the tree

Artist- Sufjan Stevens
Song of the Day- To be alone with you

So I've decided my new calling in life should be to somehow find a way to make decent recordings of what I think are really great songs, after spending hours (hours I should've been studying) trying to find this gem of a song in a decent recording or at least not a cheezy slide show. Though it did reclaim my love for Sufjan Stevens and my desire to wear wings everywhere I go like he does in worse quality videos. I think if one song could encompus the beautiful simplicity of my beliefs it's today's song. I find I can complicate life pretty easily and when I do, if I just come back to this simple truth of a love so vast and so intimate at the same time, it puts things back into perspective. Maybe that doesn't make any sense, but if it does, this song is for you. Happy sunday everybody.



I'd swim across Lake Michigan
I'd sell my shoes
I'd give my body to be back again
In the rest of the room
To be alone with you
To be alone with you
To be alone with you
To be alone with you

You gave your body to the lonely
They took your clothes
You gave up a wife and a family
You gave your ghost
To be alone with me
To be alone with me
To be alone with me
You went up on the tree

To be alone with me
You went up on the tree

I've never known a man who loves me
