lyrics

The past keeps on calling
and my heart is falling
In the corner of a dark room
with a needle and a spoon
and I'm very happy today

My children are all gone
Anita, Tim, and Tom
My heart is in the basement
There isn't a replacement
for the girl waiting upstairs
I just wish I could make it up the stairs
to the room filled with color
and her sister and her brothers
and I'm very happy today

The sky's clouds are grey
and my mind is far away
Distant friends are waiting
and I'm just contemplating
whether soul is still alive
My bees have left their hive
and I'm very happy today

Tara and the room
waiting for the bride and groom
my eyes are filled with smoke
and I'm much happier this way
and I'm much happier this way
