Happy Woman
Simon Joyner
When you're disgusted
When you're lonely
When the elm tree
Desires your company
Can you make it
All alone
Will you need me
To come home
When you're busted
When you're aching
When your rib cage
Seems to be breaking
Can your heart rise
Like a sunrise
Will it keep bleeding
Like mine has
Happy woman
Happy woman
You sure did leave a sad man
Happy woman
Happy woman
Well the archway
Is broad enough for two
But it holds one
With plenty of breathing room
The highway's narrow
But never ending
You can't get comfortable
But it's forgiving
Like a carousel in a carnival or a balloon caught inside a tree
What makes something magical is how it's grounded not how it's free
When you lay down
On an open beach
And the ocean rushes up to kiss your feet
Will you think of me
As it retreats empty handed
Back into the coral reef
Sad woman
Sad woman
You sure did leave a happy man
Sad woman
Sad woman
