Happy In the Sorrow Key

As I lay my burden down now In the cradle of an elegy In the shotgun shape of this life I'm happy happy in the sorrow key Hadrian's wall was mighty Not so mighty it didn't fall Ii roamed among its sod and stone To wonder how we come apart The earth it holds the human toll The heavens bow to the gravity The bursting heart the bleeding brain In grief we shift tectonically As I lay my burden down In the cradle of an elegy In the shotgun shape of this life I'm happy happy in the sorrow key Three days moored in Singapore The ancient lure of currency The rain came down the trade winds blew And held me anchored to my dues Slumbering I felt a tug I ran to little India To find a beggar's clarity And eat the spice of deities When I close my eyes Imagine us dead and gone The bright light of kingdom come Yeah but I can't see Take it out of my hands I want to know the truth The eye of the eagle To deliver me I'm happy in the sorrow I'm happy in the sorrow
