Happiness

Happiness showed up today And rang its bell above the din Long enough to change the spin And turn my wheels around I had driven past my last regret Down the side road of despair Where the answers don't come off the rear And grace just can't be found All my fears disguised as truth Danced the dark night of my soul But the light of day revealed no proof If God would let me down Happiness showed up today Drunk again and full of wit Singing, let's see how far we can spit And leave those tears to dry Well, the past is gone and often not The future cannot be controlled And the only moment we can hold This one going by All those lies I told myself All those brutal [incomprehensible] Makes the heart feel like a concrete slab Well, kiss those days goodbye Happiness showed up today A silver throated mockingbird With the sweetest song I ever heard It flashed across the sky
