Dark skies are falling down on my head tonight |
|
But I looked up and |
|
I could clearly see that moon |
|
For a second |
|
I thought |
|
I was somewhere |
|
Romantic like |
|
Mississippi |
|
But I was walking down |
|
Chelsea Bayou |
|
It takes you by suprise the places you find yourself in |
|
One minute you're here |
|
Next minute you're there |
|
And then you're gone |
|
If it wasn't for a well placed sense of direction |
|
You could lose your head and simply carry on |
|
Walking back to happiness |
|
I've been walking back to happiness |
|
Like Helen |
|
Shapiro did |
|
Me and Helen |
|
Arm in arm |
|
Foghorns boom the daylight gloom descends |
|
Too soon on wintry afternoons |
|
That frightened heart of youth is with me now |
|
Still staring out from it's upstairs room |
|
And you can take any road you wish to walk on |
|
You can swim to the furthest shore |
|
Or you can be like |
|
Joan of Arc babe |
|
And plug into the planet's core |
|
And go walking back to happiness |
|
I feel happy already watch me smile |
|
See me laughing |
|
Later on see me cry |
|
And as it gets colder and the night wears on a little bit |
|
I cool down yes |
|
I cool my heels |
|
I remember my father and me down on the |
|
East Pier |
|
He's pointing at the ships saying "They're leaving here" |
|
Where do they go? |
|
Where do they go? |
|
Eastward Ho |
|
Eastward Ho |
|
Yes I remember my father |
|
Standing on the edge of the |
|
Pier Pointing with his finger "Eastward Ho" |
|
And were walking back to happiness |
|
And here we go ___________________________________________________________ *written by |
