Mystery of Love - Sufjan StevensFun fact: I created the sketch for this drawing all the way back in July 2020. I was sat on a swing listening to "Mystery of Love" by Sufjan Stevens. I HIGHLY suggest you listen to the song - it is beyond beautiful. (It was also my most listened to song of 2020 :D)

Background info in the characters: Their names are Elijah and Othelia. Elijah is a thief who steals jewelry and makeup for Othelia who is dying from an illness caused by poverty.

✨Here are the lyrics to Mystery of Love✨:
They're literally so beautiful... There is no other song that makes me feel so happy

Oh, to see without my eyes
The first time that you kissed me
Boundless by the time I cried
I built your walls around me
White noise, what an awful sound
Fumbling by Rogue River
Feel my feet above the ground
Hand of God, deliver me

Oh, oh woe-oh-woah is me
The first time that you touched me
Oh, will wonders ever cease?
Blessed be the mystery of love

Lord, I no longer believe
Drowned in living waters
Cursed by the love that I received
From my brother's daughter
Like Hephaestion, who died
Alexander's lover
Now my riverbed has dried
Shall I find no other?

Oh, oh woe-oh-woah is me
I'm running like a plover
Now I'm prone to misery
The birthmark on your shoulder reminds me

How much sorrow can I take?
Blackbird on my shoulder
And what difference does it make
When this love is over?
Shall I sleep within your bed
River of unhappiness
Hold your hands upon my head
Till I breathe my last breath

Oh, oh woe-oh-woah is me
The last time that you touched me
Oh, will wonders ever cease?
Blessed be the mystery of love
