Happy Ending
Take me away from this hungry old earth
Take me away from this tired and lonely thirst
I’ve got nothing at all since your love went and died
Are you making you crawl?
Am I making you cry?
Am I making you cry?
Take me away from this sledghammer night
Take me away on a matress of velvet in a clear-water candlelight
And the sun’s gonna shine where the sun never shone
I’m comin’ out of the dark
I can’t make it alone
I can’t make it alone
Don’tcha know that I’m always waiting?
Don’tcha see that I’ll always be hoping?
Don’tcha know that I’m anticipating my happy ending?
Oh, my happy ending
Give me my happy ending
And I’ll be home free
Home free
Home free
And we made it just in time
Oh oh take me away from this hungry old earth
Take me away fromthis tired and dusty thirst
And the sun’s gonna shine where the sun never shone
I’m comin’ out of the dark
I can’t make it alone
I can’t make it alone
There’s only one thing left to do
Take me away — I’ll marry you …
[song fades out before she can say "marry you"]
