Sufjan Stevens, ＂Eugene＂ (Official Audio)

[00:00.56] Light struck from the lemon tree

[00:06.17] What if I'd never seen hysterical light from Eugene?

[00:14.59] Lemon yogurt

[00:17.12] Remember I pulled at your shirt

[00:20.20] I dropped the ashtray on the floor

[00:24.13] I just wanted to be near you

[00:28.91] Emerald Park, wonders never cease

[00:34.52] The man who taught me to swim

[00:37.34] He couldn't quite say my first name

[00:42.95] Like a father, he led Community water upon my head

[00:48.57] And he called me "Subaru"

[00:52.51] And now I want to be near you

[00:57.28] Since I was old enough to speak

[01:03.18] I've said it with alarm

[01:08.51] Some part of me was lost in your sleeve

[01:14.41] Where you hid your cigarettes

[01:18.06] No, I'll never forget

[01:20.86] I just want to be near you

[01:25.36] Still I pray to what I cannot see

[01:30.98] In the sprinkler, I mark the evidence

[01:34.63] Known from the start

[01:39.41] From the bed near your death

[01:42.22] And all the machines that made a mess

[01:45.02] Far away the falcon flew

[01:48.96] Now I want to be near you

[01:53.73] What's left is only bittersweet

[01:59.35] For the rest of my life

[02:02.16] Admitting the best is behind me

[02:07.77] Now I'm drunk and afraid

[02:10.30] Wishing the world would go away

[02:13.39] What's the point of singing songs

[02:17.60] If they'll never even hear you?
