[00:00.52]Casimir Pulaski Day - Sufjan Stevens
[00:01.81]
[00:16.03]Golden rod and the 4-h stone
[00:18.88]
[00:19.51]The things I brought you
[00:21.08]When I found out you had cancer of the bone
[00:24.62]
[00:29.98]Your father cried on the telephone
[00:32.79]
[00:33.54]And he drove his car to the navy yard
[00:36.92]Just to prove that he was sorry
[00:38.94]
[00:44.15]In the morning through the window shade
[00:47.72]When the light pressed up against your shoulder blade
[00:51.48]I could see what you were reading
[00:53.03]
[00:58.37]Oh the glory that the lord has made
[01:02.08]And the complications you could do without
[01:05.60]When I kissed you on the mouth
[01:07.91]
[01:27.69]Tuesday night at the bible study
[01:30.93]We lift our hands and pray over your body
[01:34.56]But nothing ever happens
[01:36.20]
[01:42.02]I remember at Michael's house
[01:45.05]In the living room when you kissed my neck
[01:48.72]And I almost touched your blouse
[01:50.96]
[01:55.76]In the morning at the top of the stairs
[01:59.43]When your father found out what we did that night
[02:02.93]And you told me you were scared
[02:05.27]
[02:09.65]Oh the glory when you ran outside
[02:13.69]With your shirt tucked in and your shoes untied
[02:17.30]And you told me not to follow you
[02:19.49]
[02:53.57]Sunday night when I cleaned the house
[02:57.14]I find the card where you wrote it out
[03:00.25]With the pictures of your mother
[03:02.07]
[03:08.04]On the floor at the great divide
[03:10.57]
[03:11.11]With my shirt tucked in and my shoes untied
[03:14.62]I am crying in the bathroom
[03:16.77]
[03:21.79]In the morning when you finally go
[03:25.34]And the nurse runs in with her head hung low
[03:29.19]And the cardinal hits the window
[03:30.62]
[03:35.98]In the morning in the winter shade
[03:39.68]On the first of march on the holiday
[03:42.70]
[03:43.61]I thought I saw you breathing
[03:45.06]
[03:50.15]Oh the glory that the lord has made
[03:53.97]And the complications when I see his face
[03:57.05]
[03:57.69]In the morning in the window
[03:59.32]
[04:04.58]Oh the glory when he took our place
[04:08.26]But he took my shoulders and he shook my face
[04:11.84]And he takes and he takes and he takes
