lyrics

I can’t stay here, Illinois
Came all the way here for that boy
But you’ll destroy me, frozen over.

Whisper, “​Winter​”, Illinois,
Your cold and bitter, silent voice
It will destroy me, frozen over.

Oh, Holy Lonely.

Under covers, Illinois,
Weary lovers, a childless mother, an aching void
Frozen over

The war is over, Illinois,
But peace is colder, sweet lost soldier,
It’s just a white noise

Oh, Holy Lonely.

And I am lost here, Illinois,
And at what cost, dear Illinois? All the joy frozen over,

Mmm, mmm, mmm

Oh, Holy Lonely.
Oh, Holy Lonely.
