Lyrics

Joseph walked on and on
The sunset went down and down
Coldness cooled their desire
And dawn said, 'let's build a fire'
The sun dressed the trees in green
And joe said, 'i feel like a king'
And dawn's neck and her feet were bare
Sweetness in her golden hair
Said, 'iím not scared'
Turned to her and smiled
Secrets in his eyes
Sweetness of desire
Is this desire
Enough enough
To lift us higher
To lift above?
Hour-long, by hour, may we two stand
When we're dead, between these lands
The sun set behind his eyes
And joe said, 'is this desire?'
Is this desire
Enough enough
To lift us higher
To lift above?
Is this desire
Enough enough
Enough inside
Is this desire
