O Joy! from Fist & Palm by Bellows

At the corner of your street
A different image of your street ingrained in me
Perhaps I pause outside your place
Perhaps I stop to catch my breath, perhaps I speak:

O Joy! How glad I was to feel my mood turn
O Joy! How glad I was to see your full form

And at a different time we meet
Though perhaps we meet this time differently
And maybe I had overthought
And maybe you pursued this thought to other means

O Joy! How long it takes to feel I’m not home
O Joy! How long it takes to feel I’m far gone

I want to share a thought with you
That there was something I had lost loving you
If we had touched with more than skin
If there was something deeper within

O Joy! How quickly I put out this fire
O Joy! How quickly there was nothing at all
O Joy! How long it took to milk the venom
O Joy! How long it took the snake to squirm

O Joy! Forever
