Joy Next Door

Disappearing on her own
Makes the thought of getting old easy
Joy left a note
And some flowers by the window
She stays out of the background of love

Maybe it's a sign
Or more a metaphor
The Sun is in the sky
I wonder if he knows
She was never here at all

Every picture on the wall
Says the hardest part of change is staying
Joy comes and goes
And some flowers never grow old
Sometimes in the background

Maybe it's a sign
Or more a metaphor
The Sun is in the sky
He doesn't even know
She was never here at all

And she's somewhere in the background
I wonder if he knows
Joy left a note
And some flowers by the window
Stays out of the background

It's a sign
Or more a metaphor
The Sun is in the sky
It doesn't even know
She was never here at all
She used to live next door
The Sun is in the sky
And I wonder if she's home
I guess we'll never know
