Joy Lyrics - Polly Jean Harvey

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" 

No !
