The country was nothing but trees
So I went to the city one day
Down at the night club
I met my true love
I just happened to pass by her way

The fountains they sounded like rain
And the pigeons around us were cooing
I believe in the fates
I thought they were great
Till that girl left my poor heart in ruins
When will happiness find me again?

She picked up the phone
The bombs were deployed
The people they groaned
The world was destroyed

Should I stay here and stumble around
Or head for the woods far away?
I can’t make up my mind
I’m drunk all the time
When will happiness find me again?

Now I’m drunk all the time
The sun never shines
Clouds hang low on the ruins
When will happiness find me again?

thats not a cheery song is it!

This is a wonderful song. My favorite lyric, which for me, captures the whole essence of SMYT, comes from this song;

clouds hang low on the ruins

Absolutely cool! Such imagery this album causes!

Catchin' blue in his eyes that were brown

Not sure what there is to say about this one, lyrics-wise.
It seems straightforward. Has Frank said anything about it?

Great song.

I still believe in the excellent joy of the Catholics

i just love the way he seems to emphasise when singing that the first 2 lines of each verse don't rhyme and uses a 1-2-3-3-2 rhyming instead for first 2 verses..... and the chord prog. is excellent such variation with so few chords (especially near the end)....

I hear this song as 6/8 (each line would be two bars long). Count along with the song; there is a cool thing where the 4 line verse is.

Does anyone know if there is a live version?

Is it really the song database's JOB to tell you when happiness will find you again? Try asking the eight-ball or something.

Vovat, you just set a new low in forum humor. That's quite an achievement.

Unless somebody has anything else to add....I think moving on is a fine idea.
