Lyrics for Joy

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
