Tracey Thorn - Joy lyrics

When someone very dear Calls you with the words Everything's all clear That's what you want to hear But you know it might be Different a new year That's why, that's why We hang the lights so high Joy, joy, joy, joy You loved it as a kid And now you need it More than you ever did It's because of the dark We see the beauty in the spark That's why, that's why The carols make you cry Joy, joy, joy, joy Joy, joy, joy, joy Dance around the tree, yes I see The holy on the globe, life beautiful The candles and the gloom, light the room The story of the globe, yes, I am the stand So light the winds of fire And watch as the flames grow higher We'll gather up our feels And face down all the coming years All that they've destroyed And in their face we throw our Joy, joy, joy, joy Joy, joy, joy, joy It's why we hang up so high And gaze at the globe Silver birches in the snow Because of the dark We see the beauty in the spark We must be alright If we could make up Christmas night
