You Will Be Happy

Eric Matthews


I am torn at the seam again, in the mirror I'm weeping when
her grandpa's dead, he's just one I never met
am I walking with you again, is it me or some other friend
his lie was lead, dignity's day is dead

you will be happy
you will be happy
you will be happy
you might be sad, so sad...

when he removes this mask
reveals what's in his past
he'll love you long at last
a man that's left those...(secrets behind, nothing to hide)
no disguise

he was known as a boy of ten, leaving home mother's sick again
the house was bleed and father's at war again
finding gold is his only friend, in the desert he plots again
to come back home, he's been so far from home

you will be happy
you will be happy
you will be happy
you might be sad, so sad...

hit a fork in the road again, lusty travels have rung him in
delights in love, in creatures this night above
age has crept in and done him in, living long was his only sin
it's all been done, he did it himself and won

you will be happy
you will be happy
you will be happy
you might be sad, so sad...
