PJ Harvey - 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?
