Lyrics
rain falls on this winter gray
come into focus before you fade away
the sweet perfume of your wild bouquet
lingers long to infuse this day with
joyful suffering
joyful suffering
I lay awake asleep on the floor
awaiting your emergence through the front door
as you have a thousand times or more
and as you will as you never have before in
joyful suffering
joyful suffering
there is no retreat no road back
no one to defeat in a frontal attack
I am all that I am and I am all that I lack
light pours in and out through the cracks in this
joyful suffering
joyful suffering
rain falls freezes to the ground
careless I slip and on my way down
you catch me in laughter and love unbound
and we roll and roll and roll around in this
joyful suffering
joyful suffering
joyful suffering
joyful suffering
