PJ Harvey - Joy lyrics
[PJ Harvey - Joy lyrics]
Joy was her name a life unwed
Thirty years old never danced a step
She would have left these red hills
Far behind if not for her condition
Would have left these red hills
Long ago if not for my condition
Pitiful Joy she looked away
Into a hollow sky came face to face
With her own innocence surrounding her
Until it never was a question
Innocence so suffocating
Now she cannot move, no question
No hope for Joy no hope or faith
She wanted to go blind wanted hope to stay
I've been believing in nothing
Since I was born it never was a question
No!
Thirty years old never danced a step
She would have left these red hills
Far behind if not for her condition
Would have left these red hills
Long ago if not for my condition
Pitiful Joy she looked away
Into a hollow sky came face to face
With her own innocence surrounding her
Until it never was a question
Innocence so suffocating
Now she cannot move, no question
No hope for Joy no hope or faith
She wanted to go blind wanted hope to stay
I've been believing in nothing
Since I was born it never was a question
No!
