M. Ward - Pure Joy lyrics

rate me

Thought I was falling into a deep depression

Thinking all the mystery was all gone

Like I was falling into the deep of a grand canyon

From the side of a mountain I was hanging on

But now I'm coming up for air

I see my angel on the sand

She's running out to meet me

In the waves of the of the Rio Grande

And it's joy, honey, pure joy uh huh

Pure joy just to see you again

Thought my heart was in a rut of recession

All the colors I had seen had faded into the black

Like I was falling fast to the bottom of the ocean

And just my luck my hands were all chained up behind my back

But now I'm coming up for air

I see my angel on the sand

She's running out to meet me

To save me again

And it's joy, honey, pure joy uh huh

Pure joy just to see you again

And it's joy, honey, pure joy

To see the sun coming down through the mist

Yeah it's joy, honey, pure joy

To feel the medicine of oxygen fill up my lungs again

And it's joy, honey, pure joy

To feel the strength of your kiss against my lips

Yeah it's joy, honey pure joy

Ain't no other way to say what this feeling is

Pure joy

Pure joy

Pure joy
