Sufjan Stevens - The Tallest Man, The Broadest Shoulders: Part I/part Ii - Sözleri

Part I: "The Great Frontier" 





I count the days the Great Frontier 


Forgiving, faced the seventh year 


I stand in awe of gratefulness 


I can and call forgetfulness 





And when I, and when I call 


The Patient, the Patient fall 


The Spirit, the Carpenter 


Invites us to be with her 





What have we become America? 


Soldiers on the Great Frontier! 


Carpenter and Soldier, one on one 


It's the battle, volunteer! 





Run from yourself, from your friends, from ya-- 


Run for your life, for your friends, for ya-- 


American, merica, meri-- 


Oh Illinois, Illinois, Illi-- 





The prairie, the frontier, the perfect farm, it's from here 


The fortress, the faker, the cornerstone, the baker 


The dancer, the fisher, audition and the disher 


The boxer, the fetcher, the ghweing gum, dream catcher 





I count the days the Great Frontier 


Forgiving, faced the seventh year 


I stand and strain to make ends meet 


Five Spirits on the Grand Marquee 





And when I, and when I call 


The Patient, the Patient fall 


The Spirit, the Carpenter 


Invites us to be with her 





There was a man at the wall 


He was grateful for us all 


I saw the Wise Woman sing 


She wasn't asking anything 


She wasn't asking anything 


How she made the nations sing! 





What have we become America? 


Soldiers on the Great Frontier! 





Run from yourself, 


from your friends, from ya-- 


Run for your life, 


for your friends, for ya-- 


American, merica, meri-- 


Oh Illinois, Illinois, Illi-- 





The mattress, the floozies, the actress at the movies 


The lantern, the lotion, the wind that wakes the ocean 


The Standard Edition, the architect's rendition 


The fashion, the fevers, the house we got at Sears 





Part II: "Come to Me Only With Playthings Now" 





Oh Great Fire of Great Disaster 


Oh Great Heaven, oh Great Master 


Oh Great Goat, the curse you gave us 


Oh Great Ghost, protect and save us 


Oh Great River, green with envy 


Oh Jane Addams, spirit send thee 


Oh Great Trumpet and the singers 


(Given what you lost are you better off?) 


Oh Great Goodman, King of Swingers 


(Given what you had, has it made you mad?) 


Oh Great Bears and Bulls, Joe Jackson 


(Celebrate the few. Celebrate the new.) 


Oh Great Illinois 


(It can only start with you)
