Is This Desire?

Joseph walked on and on The sunset went down and down Coldness cooled their desire And Dawn said, "Let's build a fire" The sun dressed the trees in green And Joe said, "Dawn, I feel like a King" And Dawn's neck and her feet were bare Sweetness in her golden hair Said, "I'm not scared" Turned to her and smiled Secrets in his eyes Sweetness of desire Is this desire enough, enough 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?" Is this desire enough, enough To lift us higher, to lift above? Is this desire enough, enough Enough inside? Is this desire? --- Is This Desire? - PJ Harvey
