Joy

by Iron & Wine

Lyrics
Deep inside the heart of this troubled mess
There's an itty bitty boy tuggin' hard at your hand
Born bitter as a lemon but you must understand
that you are bringin' me joy

I only lie when they don't want the truth
I'm only frightened
cuz you finally give me somethin' to lose
It's as loud as a thunderclap
but you hear it too
But you're bringin' me joy.

Deep inside the heart of this crazy mess
I'm only calm
when I get lost within your wilderness
Born crooked as a creek
and come to confess
that you are bringin' me joy
When I'm alive I'm livin' for you
When I'm a bluebird dyin'
I'll be singin the blues
It's a heartfelt silly sort of bumbling tune
but you're bringin' me joy.
