The Tallest Man The Broadest Shoulders

Sufjan Stevens

I count the days the great frontier
Forgiving, faced the seventh year
I stand in awe of gratefulness
I can and call forgetfulness

And when i, and when I call
The patient, the patient fall
The spirit, the carpenter
Invites us to be with her

What have we become America?
Soldiers on the great frontier
Carpenter and soldier, one on one
It's the battle, volunteer

Run from yourself
From your friends, from ya-
Run for your life
For your friends, for ya-
America, merica, meri-
Oh Illinois, Illinois, Illi-

I count the days the great frontier
Forgiving, faced the seventh year
I stand and strain to make ends meet
Five spirits on the grand marquee

And when i, and when I call
The patient, the patient fall
The spirit, the carpenter
Invites us to be with her

There was a man at the wall
He was grateful for us all
I saw the wise woman sing
She wasn't asking anything
She wasn't asking anything
How she made the nations sing

What have we become America?
Soldiers on the great frontier

Run from yourself
From your friends, from ya-
Run for your life
For your friends, for ya-
America, merica, meri-
Oh Illinois, Illinois, Illi-

Oh, great fire of great disaster
Oh, great heaven, oh, great master
Oh, great goat, the curse you gave us
Oh, great ghost, protect and save us
Oh, great river, green with envy
Oh, jane addams, spirit send thee
Oh, great trumpet and the singers
Oh, great goodman, king of swingers
Oh, great bears and bulls, Joe Jackson
Oh, great Illinois
