Enthusiasm Would Not Leave Me Alone

I had given up hope, given up idealism, given up faith. Given up my imagination, given up my joy You swooped in and danced around Which annoyed me I was reveling in my moroseness, glorying in my depression, wallowing in my hopelessness But you begin singing that song you sing Dancing that crazy dance Cajoling me and making me smile I did my best not to laugh But you coaxed that out of me too Pretty soon I wanted the joy you were offering I gave up my sadness and my loneliness. I gave up my depression. I claimed joy Because enthusiasm would not leave me alone.
