Well I guess the darkest nights will hide their stars
But lately your cloudy skies are the crowded bars
And I've been squinting at the distance, waiting for the light to break
Worried, dear, about how long that might take
God's been closing windows and slamming doors
The rain keeps leaking in, what the hell was that house for?
Love came at so high a cost that you could not afford
So now you're throwing up your hands and feet are kicking up a storm
But there's still light in your eyes
It's small but it still shines
There is nothing in the past that you belong to
And even if the memories come and find you
Well, it is not their task to try to rescue what's left
What's left of your joy
ย
What if the valley's too wide to hold your dreams?
What if your heart has grown too dull to gleam?
What if it's ancestral, it's running through your genes?
It's all too much now you're bursting at the seams
But there's still light in your eyes
It's faint but it still shines
There is nothing in the past that you belong to
And even if the memories come and find you
Well, it is not their task to try to rescue what's left
What's left of your joy
ย
Your sorrow does not flatter you, even if the tears are true
I've seen you sing your way through deeper blues
Sacred songs and holy water, they don't last long enough to bother
So all the things you miss just wash from the surface
ย
There is nothing in the past that you belong to
And even if the memories come and find you
Well, it is not their task to try to rescue what's left
What's left of your joy
ย
What's left of your joy
