From The Mouth Of Gabriel Lyrics - All Delighted People - Sufjan Stevens

Desperate measures lead to death 

From the mouth of Gabriel 

Who died in his sleep when the world was a very big mess 

A very big mess; he saw too much 

From now on I will look away from every accident 

That may or may not come my way 

Saw you were talking up above the Aleph room 

Masquerading as a loom 

Both of us saw things 

No one else would see as well 

From the mouth of Gabriel 

No one else would hear as well 

From the mouth of Gabriel, etc.

Don't be so sure of what you feel (it might as well be trouble) 

From now on just let the universe be your shelter from the enemy 

Your face has changed 

I hardly know who you are this time 

And what a mess I've made of you 

You probably would but I won't let you run away 

You probably should but I won't let you run away this time 

Don't be afraid of loneliness some refugee beside itself 

Instead of what you've got 

You probably would but I won't let you go away 

You probably should but I won't let you go away this time 

Your face has changed 

I hardly know who you are this time 

And when I came into your room 

You tried to jump 

Photos 

Now I know this is strange to hear from the mouth of God 

It was something like a scene from mars 

In a struggle between loves and lies 

The angel kept his face covered for to keep his word 

And while I spoke something left from my life 

Forget about the past 

Be at rest I'll make things right 

And while I held you at best you nearly died 

Forget about the past 

And I'll try to make things right
