Written in South Gippsland amidst the struggle to re-establish the tourist train over the Rail Trail

lyrics

Happiness Is
7/7/2018

Happiness is a distant memory
That plays on my mind most evenings
Since you left me babe
I ain’t seen nothing but stars
That don’t so much as shoot as fade away

Happiness is a faint melody
Played on a guitar with old strings
Since I came out east
Well even the trains
Are stopping dead in their tracks

But there’s 3 things stopping me
From going insane
Please let me explain

It’s coffee in the morning
Wine at night
And rain on a tin roof
Oh, baby come home tonight
Because I’m losing the fight
Baby come home tonight

Loneliness is beating down the walls
Since happiness walked on out the door
I guess I’ll walk on down the line
Because that mistress of joy
She’s no longer mine
