No Shade in the Shadow of The Cross

No Shade in the Shadow of The Cross - Sufjan Stevens Lyrics

Now that I fell into your arms
My only lover
Give out to give in
I search for the capsule I lostDrag me to hell
In the valley of The Dalles
Like my mother
Give wings to a stone
It's only the shadow of a cross
I slept on my back
In the shade of the meadowlark
Like a champion
Get drunk to get laid
I take one more hit when you departI'll drive that stake through the center of my heart
Lonely vampire
Inhaling its fire
I'm chasing the dragon too far
There's blood on that blade
Fuck me, I'm falling apart
My assassin
Like Casper the ghost
There's no shade in the shadow of the cross
