No Shade In The Shadow Of The Cross

SUFJAN STEVENS · Carrie & Lowell 2015 · Track 10 of 11

Written by Sufjan Stevens

Now that I fell into your arms My only lover, give out to give in I search for the council I lost

Drag me to hell in the valley of the damned Like my mother, give wings to a stone It's only the shadow of the cross

I slept on my back in the shade of the meadowlark Like a champion, get drowned to get laid I take one more hit when you depart

I'll drive that stake through the center of my heart Lonely vampire inhaling its fire I'm chasing the dragon too far

There's blood on that blade; fuck me, I'm falling apart My assassin like Casper the ghost There's no shade in the shadow of the cross
