Casimir Pulaski Day Sufjan Stevens

[Verse 1]
Goldenrod and the 4H stone
The things I brought you when I found out
You had cancer of the bone

[Verse 2]
Your father cried on the telephone
And he drove his car into the Navy yard
Just to prove that he was sorry

[Chorus 1]
In the morning, through the window shade
When the light pressed up against your shoulderblade
I could see what you were reading

All the glory that the Lord has made
And the complications you could do without
When I kissed you on the mouth

[Verse 3]
Tuesday night at the Bible study
We lift our hands and pray over your body
But nothing ever happens

[Verse 4]
I remember at Michael's house
In the living room when you kissed my neck
And I almost touched your blouse
