lyrics

Have you seen Joy?
I swear I left her here
Have you seen my Joy?
I want my mother’s milk, you hear
I have enjoyed my Joy
For most of my life
And I will not live
Unless Joy will be my wife

Won’t you be my wife
I want you, I want you

I’ve been dredging my soul up
I’ve been watching these tides roll up
I try to find Joy in the most unlikely places
But I see Joy’s hanging out less and less
In these kind of spaces

Have you seen Joy?
I swear I left her here
Have you seen Joy?
I want my mother’s milk, you hear

So I’ve been trying to create space
I thought Joy might dig it if I got myself a new pace
Oh and she did you know, she come around
She come around here once or twice
But she always got some good excuse why she can't stay the night
(Oh stay the night sister, stay the night!)

Have you seen Joy?
I need her, I need her
Have you seen Joy?
My Joy, My Joy….

Well if she never comes back, yes
I’ll go and find her, I’ll go and I'll find her in my sadness
If Joy’s gonna be so god damned tactless
I’ll go and find her, I’ll find her in my sadness

I’ll go and find her in my sadness
I’ll find her in my sadness
I’ll find her in my sadness
Find her in my sadness
My sadness, my sadness, my sadness
I’ll go and find her in my...
