Slow Buildings - Happy I Am Lyrics
Happy I am when I see you my friendMagical stars and knives cut through barsPromise me now or promise me thenI will always find this old friendWhen you come back to townPlease come roundYou’re my teacher, you’re the preacher to my soulFill this cup up with a dollop of rock and rollTucked in snug in bed at nightWhen it’s done you do it rightThink about the friends and lovers I’ve left behindMaybe now they’re dads or mothers, my God, well,I’d love to see them one more timeHappy I am when I see you againYou’re always away on a well-deserved holidayHappy I am and I do and I canWith the marmalade jam on the moonI’ll be landing real soon and here to stayYou can reach herYou’re the creature who tripped in coolFill your cup up with a dollop of her gruelNever have, but then I mightI’ll track you down when you’re out of sightThink about the trouble that comes from a little white lieI put it in a letter, I could’ve said it betterBut I never meant it as goodbyeHappy I am though you broke up your bandInto various solo projects, well, who caresHappy the man at the end of his dayWho can stand up and say he’d a planWhich he saw to its endI hope I canSitting up in bed at nightI hope my friend is still alright
