I'd swim across Lake Michigan
I'd sell my shoes
I'd give my body to be back again
In the rest of the room
To be alone with you
To be alone with you
To be alone with you
To be alone with you
You gave your body to the lonely
They took your clothes
You gave up a wife and a family
You gave your goals
To be alone with me
To be alone with me
To be alone with me
You went up on a tree
To be alone with me you went up on the tree
I've never known a man who loved me
I'd sell my shoes
I'd give my body to be back again
In the rest of the room
To be alone with you
To be alone with you
To be alone with you
To be alone with you
You gave your body to the lonely
They took your clothes
You gave up a wife and a family
You gave your goals
To be alone with me
To be alone with me
To be alone with me
You went up on a tree
To be alone with me you went up on the tree
I've never known a man who loved me

Walty, Sufjan works a lot with another Christian band called Danielson Famile. He's also got a record label called Asthmatic Kitty that has a couple other Christian type artists, including Half-Handed Cloud. I've never listened to any of these artists, so I can't vouch for how good they are. I just know they are not like most Christian bands and they are affiliated with Sufjan in some way. I'm not even Christian myself.
Nice, Gummi.
Sufjan's coming out with another album this summer, this time on the state of Illinois. If you want to hear a song from it go to pitchforkmedia.com and click on the free downloads link in the upper right. The song Chicago from his new CD is available for download there. I think it's great, though it's not like anything from Seven Swans.
