The way in which Sufjan Stevens manages to capture this very pure essence of both queer joy and queer sadness in his music never stops amazing me, and Javelin is no exception to that. I really hope things get better for him soon <3

[edwardian-girl-next-door]

I am a poor girl and me life it is sad

For it's once I was courted by a rakish a young man

Well it's once I was a-courted by a night, noon, and day

Ah, but now my love has left me and he's gone far away

Oh, me love he's a bandsman and his fingers long and small

He plays on the pipes sweetest music of all

With his red rosy cheeks, love, and his dark rolling eye

While there's breath in my body, I will love my fine boy

And there's something that tells me that me love won't be long,

And it more often tells me that my love won't live long

So then let them all be talking, let them say what they will

While there's breath in my body, I will love my love still.

Ah, for love it is a killing; did you ever feel the pain?

But I've a bunch of green ribbons my love to adorn

And if ever he comes back to me I will I will crown my love's joy

And I'll kiss those fond lips of me darling fine boy.
