They say love starts where it ends
With no reason with no plan
They say the joy is in the making
You know there's no looking back
I was young and green
When we first met
And I was trying to show
That I could get
Along this way
They say a reason's not a sign
And a light in the room is just a light
They say a sign is not a reason
That coincidence is merely noticed fact
Right now I grapple with the signs
Of when to leave and when to try
I stare so hard the waters speaking
And the bark on the branch washes away
This city's older far older than I
And I act like I know more than it
This city could leave me in the dust
Without dust where are clouds and sky
Joyful joyful do I call to thee
Joyful joyful do I call to thee
Joy only with joy do I leave thee
I always start as I am ending
When the road seems so short to travel on
As dust settles lightly on the window
Joyful joyful do I call to thee
Joyful joyful do I call to thee
Joy only with joy do I leave thee
