متن کامل ترانه The Only Thing - Live با صدای Sufjan Stevens

The only thing that keeps me from driving this car Half-light, jack knife into the canyon at night Signs and wonders: Perseus aligned with the skull Slain Medusa, Pegasus alight from us all Do I care if I survive this? Bury the dead where they're found In a veil of great surprises: I wonder did you love me at all? The only thing that keeps me from cutting my arm Cross hatch, warm bath, Holiday Inn after dark Signs and wonders: water stain writing the wall Daniel's message, blood of the moon on us all Do I care if I despise this? Nothing else matters, I know In a veil of great disguises: How do I live with your ghost? Should I tear my eyes out now? Everything I see returns to you somehow Should I tear my heart out now? Everything I feel returns to you somehow I want to save you from your sorrow ♪ The only reason why I continue at all Faith in reason, I wasted my life playing dumb Signs and wonders: sea lion caves in the dark Blind faith, God's grace, nothing else left to impart Do I care if I survive this? Bury the dead where they're found In a veil of great surprises, Hold to my head till I drown Should I tear my eyes out now, Before I see too much? Should I tear my arms out now? I want to feel your touch Should I tear my eyes out now? Everything I see returns to you somehow Should I tear my heart out now? Everything I feel returns to you somehow ♪
