Is This Desire? Lyrics - Polly Jean Harvey

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 

"Dawn I feel like a king" 

And Dawn's neck and her feet were bare 

Sweetness in her golden hair 

Said "I'm not scared" 

Turned to her and smiled 

Secrets in his eyes 

Sweetness of desire 

Is this desire, enough enough 

To lift us higher, to lift above ? 

Hour long 

By hour, may we two stand 

When we're dead, between these lands 

The sun set behind his eyes 

And Joe said : "Is this desire" 

Is this desire, enough enough 

To lift us higher, to lift above ? 

Is this desire, enough enough 

Enough inside, is this desire ?
