javelin to have and to hold

Sufjan Stevens

Searching through snow
For the javelin I had not
Meant to throw right at you
For if it had hit its mark
There d be blood in the place
Where you stood

It s a terrible thought
To have and hold
It s a terrible thought
To have and hold

So here we stand in the dark
My eyes travelling to the spot
Where you d thrown yourself
Over the rocks
For if you d not been so fast
There d be blood in the place
Where you stood

It s a terrible thought
To have and hold
It s a terrible thought
To have and hold
It s a terrible thought
To have and hold
