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
