Lyrics Iron & Wine

Iron & Wine

Joy

Deep inside the heart of this troubled man

There's an itty bitty boy tugging hard at your hand

Born bitter as a lemon but you must understand

That you've been bringing me joy

And I'll only lie when you don't want the truth

I'm only frightened cause you finally gave me something to lose

And it's as loud as a thunderclap and you hear it, too

But you've been bringing 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 bed and come to confess

That you've been bringing me joy

When I'm alive I'm living for you

Another blue bird dying but singing the blues

And it's a heartfelt silly sort of bumbling tune

About how you're bringing me joy
