joanna newsom time, as a symptom Lyrics, singer by JOANNA NEWSOM

---

time passed hard,
and the task was the hardest thing she'd ever do.
but she forgot,
the moment she saw you.

so it would seem to be true:
when cruel birth debases, we forget.
when cruel death debases,
we believe it erases all the rest
that precedes.

but stand brave, life liver,
bleeding out your days
in the river of time.
stand brave:
time moves both ways,

in the nullifying, defeating, negating, repeating
joy of life
the nullifying, defeating, negating, repeating
joy of life.

the moment of your greatest joy sustains:
not axe nor hammer,
tumor, tremor,
can take it away, and it remains.
it remains.

and it pains me to say, i was wrong.
love is not a symptom of time.
time is just a symptom of love

(and the nullifying, defeating, negating, repeating
joy of life
the nullifying, defeating, negating, repeating
joy of life).

hardly seen, hardly felt�
deep down where your fight is waiting,
down 'till the light in your eyes is fading:
joy of life.
where i know that you can yield, when it comes down to it
bow like the field when the combs through it:
joy of life.
and every little gust that chances through
will dance in the dust of me and you,
with joy of life.
and in our perfect secret keeping:
one ear of corn,
in silent, reaping
joy of life.

joy! again, around�a pause, a sound�a song:
a way a lone a last a loved a long.
a cave, a grave, a day: arise, ascend.
(areion, rharian, go free and graze. amen.)

a shore, a tide, unmoored�a sight, abroad:
a dawn, unmarked, undone, undarked (a god).
no time. no flock. no chime, no clock. no end.
white star, white ship�nightjar, transmit: transcend!

white star, white ship�nightjar, transmit: transcend!
white star, white ship�nightjar, transmit: transcend!
white star, white ship�nightjar, transmit: trans
