Swoon

(ask for joy)


Darlin', I'm connected, but you remain detached
You fix your eyes on me, your beauty is unmatched
When you touch me, baby, it's more than I can stand
I swoon, I swoon by your sweet hand (I swoon, I swoon, I swoon, I swoon)

I implore thee, come stand before me
And I will give myself to you
I implore thee, come stand before me
And I will pour myself on you

(I swoon, I swoon, I swoon, I swoon)

She slides up next to me, I lay here sedate
Just how much longer are you gonna make me wait?
She's in control of me, I come at her command
I swoon, I swoon by her sweet hand (I swoon, I swoon, I swoon, I swoon)

I implore thee, come stand before me
And I will give myself to you
I implore thee, come stand before me
And I will pour myself

Please don't stop now, baby, let's end what we began
I swoon, I swoon by your sweet hand (I swoon x 12)


Requiescat

(Oscar Wilde/ask for joy)


Tread lightly, she is near
Under the snow
Speak gently, she can hear
The daisies grow

All her bright golden hair
Tarnished with rust
She that was young and fair
Fallen to dust

Lily-like, white as snow
She hardly knew she was a woman, so sweetly she grew

Coffin-board, heavy stone
Lie on her breast
I vex my heart alone
She is at rest


When Fins Became Limbs

(ask for joy)


What took us so long
To climb out of the water
To crawl up on land
With our sons and daughters
To lay on the sand
Bright scales flashing in the sun?

Where did we go wrong
To climb out of the water
To crawl up on land
With our sons and daughters?
What need did we feel
To bring them to slaughter
To earth's muddy shores
And the evil they brought her?
There's nothing for me
The water is where we ought to be

Where did we go wrong?
Where did we go wrong?
What took us so long?
Where did we go wrong?


I Will Break Your Heart

(ask for joy)


I will break your heart
Break your heart in two

I will bring you pain
Time and time again

I will make you cry
And never wonder why

I will break your heart
Leave it torn apart


To-night

(Sara Teasdale/ask for joy)


The moon is a curving flower of gold
The sky is still and blue
The moon was the sky to hold
And I was made for you

The moon is a flower without a stem
The sky is luminous
Eternity was made for them
To-night was made for us


Peace

(Sara Teasdale/ask for joy)


Peace flows into me
As the tide to the pool by the shore
It is mine forever more
It shall not ebb like the sea

I am the pool of blue
That worships the vivid sky
My hopes were heaven-high
They are all fulfilled in you

I am the pool of gold
When sunset burns and dies
You are my deepening skies
Give me your stars to hold

Peace flows into me
As the tide to the pool by the shore
It is mine forever more
It shall not ebb like the sea


The Answer

(Sara Teasdale/ask for joy)


When I go back to earth
And all my joyous body
Puts off the red and white
That once had been so proud
If men should pass above
With false and feeble pity
My dust will find a voice
To answer them aloud

Be still, I am content
Take back your poor compassion
Joy is a flame in me
Too steady to destroy
Lithe as a bending reed
Loving the storm that sways her
I found more joy in sorrow
Than you could find in joy


Jewels

(Sara Teasdale/ask for joy)


If I should see your eyes again
I know how far their look would go
Back to a morning in the park
With sapphire shadows on the snow

Or back to oak trees in the spring
When I unloosed your hair and kissed
The head that lay against my knees
In the leaf shadow's amethyst

And still another shining place we would remember--
How the dun wild mountain held us on its crest
One diamond morning bright with sun

But I will turn my eyes from you
As kings and queens turn to put away
The jewels they have worn at night
And cannot wear in sober day

If I should see your eyes again
I know how far their look would go
Back to a morning in the park
With sapphire shadows on the snow


Alone

(Sara Teasdale/ask for joy)


I am alone in spite of love
In spite of all I take and give
In spite of all your tenderness
Sometimes I am not glad to live

I am alone as though I stood on the highest peak
Of the tired great world
About me only swirling snow
Above me endless space unfurled

With earth hidden and heaven hidden
And only my own spirit's pride
To keep me from the peace of those
Who are not lonely, having died


Here She Comes

(ask for joy)


Here she comes and I'm on fire
When she comes on, I hear an angel choir
I'm floatin' on a cloud and I never wanna come back down
When she comes on, I come around

When I feel her mouth
When she kiss my face
There's nothing else that matters to me
I get lost in her embrace

I need to go lay down 'cause she's spinnin' deep inside of my head
When she comes on, I'm close to dead

Here she comes again
Here she comes again
Here, here she comes

Take me up to paradise 'cause she's rushin' deep inside of my vein
When she comes on, I go insane

Here she comes again
Here she comes again
Here, here she comes
Here she comes again
Here she comes again
Here she comes
Here she comes
Here she comes


Summercrush

(ask for joy)


Today
Is not another ordinary day
Your kisses took my breath away
I'll take your whisper to my grave

Alive
I feel when I go deeper down inside
Like when two galaxies collide
And a million ships are lost at sea, y-yeah
Yeah, y-yeah

You're my summercrush

The way
You touched me on that August day
It left my world in disarray
I wish this dream could never end

Yeah, y-yeah

You're my summercrush

Ooh, ooh
Yeah, y-yeah

You're my summercrush


Heaven In You

(ask for joy)


I found my heaven in you
Never thought it could be true
Slipping down to ecstasy
Your crystal eye shines down on me
Stay with me and we will be complete

Come to me, sweet darling, don't resist
If you would grant me just one wish
Tiptoe softly to my room
Be the one that I entomb
And kiss me, kiss me, angel angel heart
And kiss me, kiss me, angel angel heart

You're my heaven
You're my

I found my heaven in you
Tied up to my bed, don't be so blue
Everything's gonna be alright
Don't you say a word tonight
And I'll kiss you, kiss you, angel angel heart

You're my heaven


My Deepest Ocean

(ask for joy)


I could never walk away from you
When all else fails, you pull me through
I could never push your love away
It keeps me warm, it keeps me sane
Now you come again to me
Here you come to me slow motion
You have always been my deepest ocean
You've always been my calm blue sea

La la la

Every day I get so drunk off you
It's such an easy thing to do
I'd crawl upon my hands and knees
If you'd just only ask me please
Let me come again to you
Let this be my one devotion
You have always been my deepest ocean
You've always been my calm blue sea

La la la

I will be your sacrifice
I will drink your secret potion
You have always been my deepest ocean
You've always been my calm blue sea
You own my heart and soul completely
No one can take the place of thee

La la la


Pull My String

(ask for joy)


I'm in need of a playmate
Can you come out to play?
I'll be your Raggedy Andy
I'll be your See 'n Say
You know I'll always been your friend
Even after all the trouble you get me in

If you pull my string, I'll say anything
You pull my string

Is that a teardrop in your eye?
I'm sorry if I made you cry
You know that life ain't always fair
And you were never one to share
When I get scared, I walk away
Because I don't know what to say
But I go back to your embrace
For you to put me in my place
Up in the house with Barbie and Ken, oh oh
Until you're ready to play with me again, yeah yeah

If you pull my string, I'll say anything
Pull my string
If you pull my string, I'll do anything
Wind me up and pull my string
If you pull my string, it's wound around my heart
Pull my string
Yeah yeah, if you pull my string, I'll be yours forever
Go on and pull my string


The Sacrifice

(ask for joy)


I gotta keep my mind clear
I gotta make it through
A few more hours, a few more hours to go
Then I'm comin' home to you

You got nothin' to say
You just take my pain away
You don't want anything from me
You just want me to be happy

Baby baby baby baby, yeah

Comin' down's the hardest part
It's hard to sleep when you've a broken heart
If I should die before I wake
That's the sacrifice that I'm prepared to make

You got nothin' to say
You just take my pain away
You don't want anything from me
You just want me to be happy

Baby baby baby baby, yeah

Comin' down's the hardest part
It's hard to sleep when you've a broken heart
If I should die before I wake
That's the sacrifice that I'm prepared to make
