[Verse 1: Sufjan Stevens]
Oh my friends, I've begun to worry, right
Where I should be grateful, I should be satisfied
Oh my heart, I would clap and dance in place
With my friends, I have so much pleasure to embrace
[Chorus 1]
But my heart is returned to sister winter
But my heart is as cold as ice
[Verse 2]
Oh my thoughts, I return to summertime
When I kissed your ankle, I kissed you through the night
All my gifts, I gave everything to you
Your strange imagination, you threw it all away
[Chorus 2]
Now my heart is returned to sister winter
Now my heart is as cold as ice
[Chorus 3] (x3)
All my friends, I've returned to sister winter
All my friends, I apologize, apologize
La la la la la ...
[Chorus 4] (x3)
And my friends, I've
Returned to wish you all the best
[Chorus 5]
And my friends, I've
Returned to wish you a happy Christmas
To wish you a happy Christmas (x3)
