Little Joys

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

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

And 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

And don't you take my heart away

I'm a big mess of little joys

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

And don't you take my heart away

I'm a big mess of little joys
