Track Lyrics
Joy Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I woke up this morning with the blues all around my head
I woke up thisâ
morningâ
with the bluesâ
all around my head
I felt likeâ
someone in my family was dead
[Verse 2]
I jumped up like aârabbitâandâfell down toâmy knees
I jumpedâup like a rabbit and fell down to my knees
Called out all around me, said, "Have mercy on me, please"
"Have mercy on me, please"
[Verse 3]
And over by the window, the voice came low and hollow
Over by the window, a voice came low and hollow
Spoke into my pain, into my yearning sorrow
Spoke into my pain
[Verse 4]
"Who was it?" I cried, "What wild ghost has come in agitation?"
"Who is it?" I cried, "What wild ghost has come in agitation?
"Itâs half past midnight! Oh, why you disturb me so late?"
[Verse 5]
Then I saw a movement
Then I saw a movement around
Then I saw a movement around my narrow bed
I saw a movement around my narrow bed
Oh, a ghost in giant sneakers, laughing, stars around his head
Have mercy on me
[Verse 6]
Sat on a narrow bed, this flaming boy
Who sat on a narrow bed, this flaming boy
He said, "Weâve all had too much sorrow, now is the time for joy"
[Verse 7]
And all across the world, they shout bad words, they shout angry words
All across the world, they shout out their angry words
About the end of love, yet the stars stand above the earth
[Verse 8]
Bright, triumphant metaphors of love
Bright, triumphant metaphors of love
Blind us all who care to stand and look beyond and care to stand and look beyond above
[Verse 9]
And I jumped up like a rabbit and fell down to my knees
I jumped up like a rabbit and fell down to my knees
I called all around me, said, "Have mercy on me, please"
"Have mercy on me, please"
"Have mercy on me, please"
"God have mercy on me, please"
[Outro]
For joy, for joy, for joy
For joy, for joy, for joy
Jumping for joy
For joy, for joy, for joy
For joy, for joy, for joy
Oh, for joy
Oh, have mercy on me, please
Joy, joy, joy
Cinnamon Horses Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I told my friends that life was sweet
I told my friends that life was very sweet
And the cinnamon horses
In the turpentine trees
[Verse 2]
I told my friends some things were good
That love would endure if it could
And the cinnamon horses
Stroll through the castle ruins
[Verse 3]
I said we canât love someone
Without hurting someone
And a dozen white vampires
Under a strawberry moon
[Chorus]
You said that
You said that
You said that, oh
You said that
You said that
A strawberry moon
[Verse 4]
'Cause love asks for nothing
But love costs everything
And the cinnamon horses
Dance benДath a strawberry moon
[Verse 5]
I said we should not hurt one anothДr
Still we hurt one another
And a dozen white vampires
Sun themselves in the castle ruins
[Chorus]
You said that
You said that
You said that, oh
You said that
You said that
You said that, oh
[Verse 6]
I told my friends that life was sweet
I told my friends life was very sweet
[Chorus]
You said that
You said that
In the castle ruins
[Verse 7]
I told my friends that life was good
That love would endure if it could
[Chorus]
You said that
You said that
You said that, oh
You said that
You said that
You said that, oh
You said that
You said that
You said that, oh
You said that
You said that
You said that, ooh
As the Waters Cover the Sea Lyrics
[Verse]
She sits at the window
Her hands folded in her sleeping lap
As He steps from the tomb
In His rags and His wounds
Into the yellow light that streams
Through the window, He brings
[Chorus]
Peace and good tidings to the land
Peace and good tidings to the land
And as the waters cover the sea
And as you wake and turn to me
Peace and good tidings He will bring
Good tidings to all things
