Majesty Snowbird Lyrics

Sufjan Stevens Majesty Snowbird

Rain bird, laughing in the olive tree, la la dee dah
Colored shirt, with the alabaster altarpiece, you gave
to me
Summer sweet, some forgiven
Your advice is all that seems to matter much to me
Call it sweet, call it something paradise

Is it the right word you designed for me?
Is it the broken word or good advice i need?
Is the half as sweet set aside for me?
Is it mysterious? is it something ripe and sweet?

Snowbird, your sister said she needed me, la la dee dah
Show them first, show them what you did for me, la la
dee dah
Quiet sound, and little soldier sent beneath
And epaulets that covered every shoulder
Call it sweet come take
Forget the things I said, to please

Is it the right word you designed for me?
Is it the broken word or good advice i need?
Is the tapestry set beneath my wings?
Is it mysteroius, glorious? Indeed.

Don't stop, don't break
You can delight because you have a place
Quiet room, I need you now

Is it the right word?
Is it the broken word?
Is it the tapestry?
Is it the majesty?

Is it the right word?
Is it the broken word?
Is it the tapestry?
Is it the majesty?

Don't stop, don't break
You can delight because you have a place
(x5)

Quiet room, i need you now...
