Heirloom - Sufjan Stevens

When your heirloom’s wilted brown

When the devil’s pushing down

When your mourning has a sound

And you hesitate to laugh

How quickly will your joy pass?

How quickly will your joy pass?

And when you walk inside I feel the door

I’ll never let it push your arms no more

And when your legs give out, just lie right down

And I will kiss you till your breath is found

And when you walk inside I feel the door

I’ll never let it push your arms no more

La, la, la

La-la-la-la-la

La, la, la

La-la-la-la-la

So do you think I came to fight?

And do I always think I’m right?

Oh no, I never meant to be a pest to anyone this time

Oh no, I only meant to be a friend to everyone this time

And when you walk inside I feel the door

I’ll never let it push your arms no more

And when your legs give out, just lie right down

And I will kiss you till your breath is found

And when you walk inside I feel the door

I’ll never let it push your arms no more
