The Ballad of Sorrow and Joy
-Jake Armerding
Sorrow sits upon a wire
he speaks discreetly to his shadows
I am hungry, I am hungry
Seek me out a pocketful of tears
Breath is short and breath is ragged
all at once you lose your footing
Knowing soon you will go under
drowning in a pocketful of tears
But joy will find you, joy will find you
hold you on one moment longer
Feel his hands upon your shoulders
point you toward the sun
You can put this night behind you
drink of love and drink of laughter
Drown yourself in joy's bright river
till darkness comes again
Come back home, your night is waiting
grinning, spinning threads around you
All your questions, there's no answer
you're drowning in a pocketful of tears
Cry for stop, he keeps on going
poisoning your calm remembrance
Then you hear that safety clicking
clicking in a pocketful of tears
But joy is shining, joy is shining
see him coming round your corner...
