Lyrics for A Sun Came as interpreted by infranippies

A Sun Came Lyrics
Everything you are
Is everything we have
You're the only good thing
A sun came
Burned our faces round
Burned our faces red
You are still the rage, a rock
From the enemy
There is still a house, a cage
For the enemy
When my friends turned out, I found out
There is still a Lord
But I never felt so lonely
A sun came

Such a Christian song, yet so beautiful.

"Everything You are is everything we have"
I find so much meaning in that line.

"After St. Augustine"

Sunshine let it be or frost,
Storm or calm, as Thou shalt choose;
Though Thine every gift were lost,
Thee Thyself we could not lose.

Hey! you forgot: "I remember when my mother would get sick, she would vomit all over the kitchen, she would vomit on the tables and on the countertops, and in the refrigerator. and uh, oh when we called the dog, the dog would come in and slip on the vomit.

Campfirestring, that's the beginning to the song "Satan's Saxophones", not the end to "A Sun Came".

Here are the exact lyrics for this song, transcribed from Sufjan's handwriting in the first pressing of the album. The lyrics are originally written without line breaks.

A sun came: everything You are is everything we have. You're the only good thing: a sun came and burned our faces brown, burned our faces red. You are still the rage, a run from the enemy. There is still a house, a cage for the enemy. And when my friends turn out I found out there's still the Lord. I never felt so lonely: a sun came.

Not that it's incorrect to find literal meaning in the line "a sun came" but it just occured to me that he could be meaning a son came. The rest of the song points to Jesus Christ, the son of God, coming.

you could even add an extra word in the last three lines:

There is still a Lord but I never felt so lonely UNTIL a sun (son) came.
