Little Joys

(album: Blood Ballet - 2014)

Bonfire of awe and a thirst was burning
Heart like a house, the floorboards were turning
Dark river beds where slumber was decay

The light it wrapped you in its flame
The only heir of the breaking day
Made words an arrow only you could aim

With no injury to claim
I'm a big mess of little joys
My blue eyes are wrapped in grey
I'm a big mess of little joys

I loved you once, but none to blame
A foggy peak in the august rain
A humid heat that would never dissipate

The wind it hunted our stray calls
Combined with dragging from the hull
But that was then when you gripped tight on me

With no injury to claim
I'm a big mess of little joys
My blue eyes are wrapped in grey
I'm a big mess of little joys

Lunar, solar, thought that things were over
Midnight, twilight, thought that things were alright
Don't you take my heart away
I'm a big mess of little joys
