Joy de Viva

She wiped the smile right off my face

And hid it away in a secret place

The night was dark and the ground was cold

I slipped myself into a pool

I saw the trees but not the wood

And floated in an icey flood

As cold began to freeze my heart

I heared a voice come through the dark

Bring up the coals

Light up the fire

Joy de viva

Joy de viva

Smile your shining smile on me

If you see her

Say I need her

Joy de viva

Joy de viva

Now sunburned men tell tales of me

Of how I sail the ocean deep

Upon the brow I shade my face

Searching for that sate of grace

Every night the moon appears

She shows me that I need not fear

The crashing rocks and siren wind

And I will find her in the end

Then I will run

Into her fire
