A Song for Mother Nature. A song for someone in particular. An oh-well. A good time. Vanity and Vexation of Spirit.
lyrics
While we wait on grass patterns on your arm
in quiet American discomfort
I can see there, with flowers in your hair,
God's whispering, "be careful, stay safe, shape up"
While we wait, the world is so calm
may we never cease to grow,
may we never be mundane
It's cliche, but I'll wait for you
in days yet unbirthed, let us build, and run, and find
As we press on, let us speak our honest thoughts
When we're tired and we're spent, let's move along
Let's flourish when we're fresh
and press on when we're not
and hear whispered, be careful, stay safe, shape up
and the local girls
who I thought were the only kind in the world
can pack up all their things and move along
I really, really, really dislike tribute records. This is the only album that has ever challenged my opinion of the medium. Sufjan's songwriting is apparently a canvas that anyone can paint on. Pet Giant
