Joseph walked on and on the sunset
Went down and down coldness
Cooled their desire and Dawn said
Fm G# Fm G#
"Let's build a fire"
Fm G#
The sun dressed the trees in green

And Joe said

"Dawn I feel like a king"
Fm G#
And Dawn's neck and her feet were bare
Fm G#
Sweetness in her golden hair
Fm G# Fm
Said "I'm not scared"
G# Fm
Turned to her and smiled
G# Fm
Secrets in his eyes
G#
Sweetness of desire
Chorus:
C# Fm C# Fm
Is this desire, enough, enough
C# Fm C# Fm
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?"
Chorus:
Is this desire, enough, enough
To lift us higher, to lift above?
Is this desire, enough, enough
Enough inside? Is this desire?
