Carol of St. Benjamin The Bearded One - Sufjan Stevens

I can see you there

Oh, in the snowbank with the snowman at your side

And in my heart and in my spirit I concede

The things you want in life you have to really need

This is a matter of life

Only parents cry

Oh, when they want to show the world they’re still alive

And in my heart and in my spirit I believe

The draft beneath the doorframe comes to challenge me

This is a matter of life

Oh, be kind to me

Oh, Benjamin who keeps his hands inside his sleeves

And in my heart and in my spirit I can read

The way he brushed his beard against the cedar tree

Keeping his eyes upon me

I can see you there

Oh, in the snowbank with the snowman at your side

And in my heart and in my spirit I concede

The things you want in life you have to really need
