Sufjan Stevens - Lonely Man Of Winter Lyrics






In the world that you would make up
With unicorns and buffalo backs
I know that you would wake up
With the sunny side touching your back

Is it the lonely man of Christmas?
Coming up with theories on him
Is it the lonely man of Christmas?
He's riding in the devil's abyss

Oh, I would write the future
If I could put a finger on it
But I have no idea
If what I want is better than this

Is it the lonely man of winter?
I could put my finger on that
Is it the lonely drive to Denver?
The loneliness of Hoppington's hat

Is it the time we spent in silence?
Time will tell what winter he had
Is it the lonely man of winter?
I could put my finger on that

And even if it's Christmas
Could we just pretend for a bit
That everything we went through
Was someone else's carpenter kiss

    This was made in 2007

  8. J.... W....

    Sometimes I hate that I live somewhere always snowy and cold but then Sufjan releases stuff like this and I'm okay again.

  9. G.... ....

    I started listening to this boys in 2015 and is the best gift that life gave me until now. Their music is an amazing thing.

  10. B.... ....

    Could this be a precursor to an upcoming Colorado album?

    B.... ....

    BobDylansPet - no lol. He isn’t doing an album for 48 more states. And he did this song like 10 years ago.

  11. a.... ....

  31. A.... I....

    When music does not only serve the purpose of uniting people everywhere....but also bringing a sense of a much valued importance to the soul of THAT lonely human being in his or her introvert world...

  32. V.... G....

    Hoy os descubri .Sencillamente me encanta vuestra musica.☺

  33. E.... F....

    Sólo espero ver a Sufjan algún día en directo. No hay nadie que me revolucione los sentidos como él

  42. D.... i....

    lyrics?

  43. I.... m....

    Christmas is getting near. Thanks for this gift

  44. A.... C....

    I wish Sufjan would take five years away from making music, and become a nobody, and then come back and sing whatever he has to say.

  45. R.... G....

    [Verse 1]
    In the world that you would make up
    With unicorns and buffalo packs
    I know that you would wake up
    With the sunny side touching your back

    [Chorus 1]
    Is it the lonely man of Christmas?
    Coming up with theories on him
    Is it the lonely man of Christmas?
    He's riding in the devil's abyss

    [Verse 2]
    Oh, I would rate the future
    If I could put a finger on it
    But I have no idea
    If what I want is better than this

    [Chorus 2]
    Is it the lonely man of winter?
    I could put my finger on that
    Is it the lonely drive to Denver?
    The loneliness of Hoppington's hat

    [Chorus 3]
    Is it the time we spent in silence?
    The silence of a winter he had
    Is it the lonely man of winter?
    I could put my finger on that

    [Outro]
    And even if it's Christmas
    Could we just pretend for a bit
    That everything we went through
    Was someone else's carpenter kiss

    R.... G....

    Rahul Gaur what is this song about

    R.... G....

    What does carpenter's kiss mean

    R.... G....

    @Sumi Lal I really have no exact idea, but what I'm thinking right now is that it has something to do with Jesus, the carpenter, dying for our sins so that we could have the life that we do today. Christmas is supposed to be Jesus' birthday - the day he should be celebrated most. However, it feels bittersweet to celebrate him for letting you have such a life since that would make him indirectly responsible for all the pain, loneliness and despair that comes with any person's existence. You might want to celebrate Jesus for his sacrifice, but you also want to separate him from all the pain of your life and human life in general. That might be why he wants to separate everything he's gone through from Jesus' blessing - attributing it to some other carpenter instead.

    R.... G....

    @Carvaka A thank you so much!! This does sorta make sense, I've been trying to find out it means, you're an angel :D

  46. t.... ....

    the comment section of sufjan's songs is always the best, i'm glad we can all connect through the beauty of his music <3

    Listening this morning upon waking up to our small town’s first snowfall of the year. What a time to be alive

    D.... N....

    Do we all live in the same small-town? First snowfall here as well. Brings out a new sense of sublime.

    D.... N....

    Me too! In Kelowna, Canada and today is the first snowfall of the winter. Magical

    D.... N....

    Ahhh I’m so jealous, we only get rain here in England :/
