Fourth of July (April Base Version) - Sufjan Stevens

[00:16.914] The evil, it spread like a fever ahead
[00:20.764] It was night when you died, my firefly
[00:29.646] What could I have said to raise you from the dead?
[00:33.233] Oh, could I be the sky on the Fourth of July?
[00:38.453]
[00:41.553] \"Well, you do enough talk
[00:44.142] My little hawk, why do you cry?
[00:49.772] Tell me, what did you learn from the Tillamook burn?
[00:54.214] Or the Fourth of July?
[00:58.581] We're all gonna die\"
[01:02.886]
[01:16.469] Sitting at the bed with the halo at your head
[01:20.097] Was it all a disguise, like junior high?
[01:28.924] Where everything was fiction, future, and prediction
[01:33.105] Now, where am I? My fading supply
[01:38.296]
[01:41.390] \"Did you get enough love, my little dove?
[01:45.682] Why do you cry?
[01:49.401] And I'm sorry I left, but it was for the best
[01:53.741] Though it never felt right
[01:57.945] My little Versailles\"
[02:01.280]
[02:15.790] The hospital asked, \"Should the body be cast?\"
[02:19.665] Before I say goodbye, my star in the sky
[02:28.371] Such a funny thought to wrap you up in cloth
[02:31.965] Do you find it all right, my dragonfly?
[02:38.150]
[02:40.255] \"Shall we look at the moon, my little loon?
[02:45.188] Why do you cry?
[02:49.029] Make the most of your life, while it is rife
[02:53.380] While it is light
[02:57.184] Well, you do enough talk
[02:59.728] My little hawk, why do you cry?
[03:05.624] Tell me, what did you learn from the Tillamook burn?
[03:09.814] Or the Fourth of July?
[03:14.067] We're all gonna die\"
[03:20.770]
[03:22.840] We're all gonna die
[03:30.719] We're all gonna die
