Happytown

Taking steps when the dust lifts up
Not many cars on the way
In the distance I hear the spring run
From a once-forgotten bay
The yellow sun nearly sets down on the pine coats
Of the rolling shields of land
With a backpack on my shoulder
Trudging down the stones and sand

I was once so free and happy
And I could love to pass the time
No one else could reach us
We were living our own lives

When you are young you
Just don't see it coming
No matter what they tell you
Pin every sunset you see to the walls of your mind

Being who we always were
The hours were merely whiles
Tripping down to Happy Town
And Trading different smiles
Stopping once to twist a little cigarette
Waiting for someone else to cry
I might think a while and wonder
How much longer before I die

I was once so free and happy
And I could love to pass the time
No one else could reach us
We were living our own lives

When you are young you
Just don't see it coming
No matter what they tell you
Pin every sunset you see to the walls of your mind
