Sufjan Stevens - She Is lyrics

She is the day that gives me time To love and linger, love my life Until night comes on with sundown scythe To end the bars of pantomime She is the day of love She is the bridge on which I wait To watch the river beneath me flow All spinning, surging far below Along the deep and bending straights She is the bridge of love She is the air I breathe, entranced Awake or asleep, in storm or cold I'm going to wash my lifted ball A sky that calls me out to dance She is the air of love She is the day through which I walk Toward the bridge where she stands She is the air I breathe to sing She is the smile without demands She is the smile that keeps me warm With matchless laughter, eyes ablaze A mischief mystery she plays Upon the flute of early morn She is the smile of love She is the air of love She is the day of love
