cousin tony's brand new firebird - joy lyrics
it was just like you said it would be
no rain, no river of tears, just a bright sunny day
all of the things that fall to the carpenters floor
i could ask you to walk to the end of my street
and down to my door but i couldn’t take you up
i couldn’t take you up, if i tried
we awoke with bl–dy knees
some game did that we played with our bodies all one and the same
from the end of the night, to the submarine sunrise painting the blues
and selfishly i rolled to the side and let it find you
but i couldn’t wake you up, i couldn’t wake you up
i couldn’t wake you up, i couldn’t wake you up
but if i tried
then for the first time, in a long time
i’d feel joy
it rains diamonds on jupiter
and the sea is full of colorful creatures stupefy me
but between me and the dream, and all of the colors that swarm around me and gracefully sing
i have imagined many great things
but i couldn’t make you up, i couldn’t make you up
i couldn’t make you up, i couldn’t make you up
if i tried
if i tried
and i’ve tried
and for the first time in a long time
i feel joy
