Iron & Wine - Joy Lyrics






Deep inside the heart of this troubled man
There's an itty bitty boy tugging hard at your hand
Born bitter as a lemon but you must understand
That you've been bringing me joy

And I'll only lie when you don't want the truth
I'm only frightened cause you finally gave me something to lose
And it's as loud as a thunderclap and you hear it, too
But you've been bringing me joy

[Interlude]

Deep inside the heart of this crazy mess
I'm only calm when I get lost within your wilderness
Born crooked as a creek bed and come to confess
That you've been bringing me joy

When I'm alive I'm living for you
Another blue bird dying but singing the blues
And it's a heartfelt silly sort of bumbling tune
About how you're bringing me joy

    What a good tune, a really underrated artist. Love his lyrics they are so poetic, just take you away. I'm only calm when I get lost in your wilderness. Put in Ross Heathorn I got some ruff acoustic tunes on there, tell me what you think? Peace world x

  2. J.... M....

    My least favorite on this album and I still love it.

  3. W.... H....

    One of the many beautiful songs Sam has written over the years.  I picked this for my birthday morning, 2019.  Ghost on Ghost is still my favorite album by Iron & Wine.  I like to think so far...

  19. J.... H....

    Shazam, thanks 😝

  20. S.... S....

    Ich bin wegen der Werbung hier 😃passt bisschen zu weihnachten hahaha

  21. e.... M....

    Ich hab's gefunden!

  22. C.... D....

    Klasse Lied

  23. J.... T....

    Dumme Leute, dumme Kommentare...Das Projekt Iron & Wine gibt es schon über 10 Jahre, erfolgreich! Schaut weiter Werbung und hört Helene Fischer! Mein Beileid...

    J.... T....

    +Jörn Tiegel
    So und jetzt kennst jeder, du blödmann

    J.... T....

    +thomas horvath Ja und Du bist jeder, passt schon...Du Honk!😊

    J.... T....

    Ich bin froh, dass ich diese Band/Musikprojekt überhaupt gefunden habe. Ist mir egal, ob ich das der Telekom Werbung zu verdanken habe oder nicht, Hauptsache ich finde mal wieder gute Musik.

    J.... T....

    +Gordon Beck Hauptsache der liebe Jörn konnte uns mal zeigen, wie krampfhaft er die gesammte Welt der Musik, in Echtzeit, in sich aufsaugt und sich durch sein so gesammeltes Wissen von allen anderen abhebt. Durch geschickte Selektion ist er sogar in der Lage, Helene Fischer von guter Musik zu unterscheiden. Seine unterschwellige Botschaft Werbung zu schauen sei verwerflich, lässt allerdings daran zweifeln, ob Iron & Wine wirklich die richtige Band für ihn ist. Sie verkaufen sich ja offensichtlich für Werbezwecke und teilen sich somit sogar Sendezeit mit Helene Fischer. Wirft dies alles nicht die Frage auf, ob Jörniboy sich vielleicht selbst meint, wenn er über "Dumme Leute, dumme Kommentare..." redet? Für mich steht zumindest fest, dass der Jörn ein ziemlich unbeholfener Hater ist, der sich durch dumme Kommentare selbst zum Deppen macht.

  50. T.... ....

    I know a lot of people don't like the direction he went with this album, but I thought he took an amazing risk and it really paid off! It's a very whimsical sound. It's not like the 'old' Iron and Wine, but that's okay, because he's not the 'old' Sam Beam. I really, really liked this album :)

  51. d.... ....

    So terrible, I want to cry. Sam used to be my favorite musician...

    I just bought the new album about 2 weeks ago at Best Buy. I happen to like it a lot. This song is so relaxing and beautiful. Great video. It fits the song perfectly. When I feel sad and depressed, this song (and video) can always cheer me up and calm me down.
