Fleeting Joy

The feeling comes and goes

It's something I've always known

When I look to the past

It's just not built to last

Joy, fleeting joy

Wander 'round there is no sleep

Nothing found that I can keep

But faces not worth reading

The chase of something fleeting

Joy, fleeting joy

What I wanted to be

It got away from me

And where I need to go

I've never known

I have it as it's gone

It keeps me going on

It's not what you thought at first

Not something that you rehearse

It's what you scrape together

No warning whatsoever

Joy, fleeting joy

What I wanted to be

It got away from me

And where I need to go

I've never known

Now what I'm going to do

Is burrow into you

And where it goes from there

I don't care
