Testo Wallowa Lake Monster - Sufjan Stevens
Testo della canzone Wallowa Lake Monster (Sufjan Stevens), tratta dall'album Carrie & Lowell (10th Anniversary Edition)
As if you know the story of Wallowa Lake
Leviathan first hid in the deep where her children sleep
She kept them hidden from the plague
But have you heard the story of my mother's fate?
She left us in Detroit in the rain with a pillowcase
Fortune for the paperweight
We followed her to Joseph, near the Indian raid
She wept among the weeds, hide and seek for the fallen chief
Spathiphyllum on his grave
And like the cedar waxwing, she was drunk all day
We put her in the sheet, little wreath, candles on the grate
As the monster showed its face
And as she waits for her children in the shade
Demogorgon or demigod, the ghost parade
No oblation will bring her back to our place
She stayed within the deep end of Wallowa Lake
The undertow refrained with the flame of a feathered snake
Charybdis in its shallow grave
She gave us one last feature, the fullness of her face
In the shade of himatuya, red Napoleon
As the demon took her place
And as we wait for the waters to reside
Her remarkable stoicism and her pride
When the dragon submerged, we knew she had died
