Is This Desire?

Joy was her name
A life un-wed
Thirty years old
Never danced a step
She would have left these red hills far behind if not for her condition
'would have left these red hills long ago if not for my condition'
Pitiful joy
She looked away
Into a hollow sky
Came face to face
With her own innocence surrounding her until it never was a question
Innocence so suffocating, now she cannot move, no question
No hope for joy
No hope or faith
She wanted to go blind
Wanted hope to stay
'i've been believing in nothing since i was born, it never was a question.'

Catherine de barra, you've murdered my thinking
I gave you my heart, you left the thing stinking
I'd break from your spell if it weren't for my drinking
And the wind bites more bitter with each light of morning.
I envy the road, the ground you tread under,
I envy the wind, your hair riding over,
I envy the pillow your head rests and slumbers,
I envy to murderous envy your lover
'til the light shines on me
I damn to hell every second you breath
I envy
Oh my catherine
For your eyes smiling
And your mouth singing
With time i'd have won you
With wile i'd have won you
For your mouth singing

My first name angelene
Prettiest mess you've ever seen
Love for money is my sin
Any man calls, i'll let him in
Rose is my colour, and white
Pretty mouth and green my eyes
I see men come and go
But there'll be one who will collect my soul and come to me
Two-thousand miles away
He walks upon the coast
Two-thousand miles away
It lays open like a road
Dear god, life ain't kind
People getting born and dying
But i've heard there's joy untold
Lays on that open road in front of me
My first name is angelene

Joseph walked on and on
The sunset went down and down
Coldness cooled their desire
And dawn said, 'let's build a fire'
The sun dressed the trees in green
And joe said, 'i feel like a king'
And dawn's neck and her feet were bare
Sweetness in her golden hair
Said, 'i

And he was walking in the garden
And he was walking in the night
And he was singing a sad love song
And he was praying for his life
And the stars came out around him
He was thinking of his sins
And he's looking at his song-bird
And he's looking at his wings
There inside the garden
Came another with his lips
Said, 'won't you come and be my lover?'
'let me give you a little kiss'
And he came, knelt down before him
And fell upon his knees
Said, 'i will give you gold and mountains
If you stay awhile with me'
And there was trouble taking place.
There inside the garden
They kissed, and the sun rose
And he walked a little further
And he found he was alone
And the wind, it gathered round him
He was thinking of his sins
He was looking at his song-bird
And he was looking at his wings
And there was trouble taking place.

In came the girl withe the sad eyes and
Asked him over again
"was i too weak? was i a child?" and
"can't we leave here and start again?

Said "i don't mind if you take me down" and
"i don't ming if you brak it all", but
"how much more can you take from me?"
"how much more can you take from me?"

"i'd like to take you inside my head"
"i'd like to take you inside of me"
"you came from heaven", is all he said,
"you came from heaven and you came here to me,
And i love you..."

He drove it fast to make the night
And looked at his angel, where she lay
Resting her head, and closed her eyes
Outside the heat and the summer fades
Deep in the sky, a storm he'd seen
Deep in the sky, a storm he'd seen
"there ain't nothing, no girl so sweet"
"took her from heaven and gave her to me
