Lyrics Enchanting Ghost - Sufjan Stevens

Enchanting Ghost

Tell me what you saw in me
And I’ll try to replicate it with a scene
If it troubles you to breathe
Wait a moment;
I could change the scenery
Don’t carry on carrying efforts, oh no, oh oh oh oh
Somewhere there’s a room for each of us to grow
And if it pleases you to leave me, just go, oh oh oh oh
Stopping you would stifle your enchanting ghost
It’s only that I meant to bring
Love and liveliness to your breast on the scene
Did you cut your hands on me?
Are my edges sharp?
Am I a pest to feed?
Don’t carry on carrying regrets, oh no oh oh oh
Somewhere there’s a room for us to speak alone
And if it grieves you to stay here, just go, oh oh oh oh
For I have no spell on you, it’s all a ghost
I still have the things you gave me
Four anointing oils, the paperweight you made
For should I haven’t carried them
Or buried them in the name of your ghost, my friend
Don’t carry on carrying efforts: Don’t go!
No oh oh oh
Stay with me until I sleep within your host
Or if it pleases you to leave me, just go, oh oh oh oh
Stopping you would stifle your enchanting ghost
