Array ( [sid] => 42329 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Happy Families [time] => 2004-04-08 12:13:23 [hometext] => This is one about me right now-I hope u like it. Very interested in any comments! [bodytext] => Happy Familes

I woke up today with you
I don’t want to wake you

I treasure your silence and your peace

The early morning TV is telling me a god was lost
But I’ve found the heart in me

I have my tea and breathe
This is peace

This is just you and me
Like I always dreamt it could be

Out of the sky
I found my what and why

Out of the sky
I found my what and why

Let’s play Happy Families,
Just you and me

Let’s make it better than just playing pretend
‘Cause I love you so much,

I don’t want this to end

Let’s play Happy Families
Just you and me

When you talk to me
I can listen for days

So softly

With the miles rushing away,
I stare out over the waves

The beach is a place where dreamers go to wake up beautiful
Yeah, I’m a dreamer, you can tell from my eyes

Now let’s go back to the Source,

I was in the kid in the tennis shorts,
Always hanging out on street corners

With idle eyes and an assassin’s tongue
I always liked to laugh, I just didn’t know about love

Now, you were the one with the deep, serious pride
You had that cool car, you had that chain with golden charms dancing

But is was the good stuff inside
The stuff inside you

The good stuff that made me meet you past midnight
The good stuff that seduced me

My heart was soaked in the night Sun,
Where romance is a real thing not just someone’s talk

Well, yes, I played coy, very shy
But I gave you my number; you gave me your hand

And then you gave me your heart
It was so hot and so full

I got burnt by the beauty
I got lost in the depths

As we walked down thru the Park in the ice of Winter,
And I held you so near because I could feel people looking

And they were judging me
And they were judging you

But it didn’t matter to me,
It didn’t mean a thing to my heart

So our love was bold
Bold and brave

Fair and gracious we toured the shipwrecks,
Laughed at things so tragic I could write poems forever and forever

Together we knelt by the same altars
Together we grew up and wore rings and danced and smoked and sung

Just like me, you love a lullaby
Will we ever wake up?

Out of the sky
I found my what and why

We got our tattoos together,
We both got ***** by the same guy

I love you so much,
Please hold me while I sleep

Please don’t make me lie,
Because I’m so damn tired

I need a shoulder to cry on
I need a person who helps me out of myself

I searched for peace
Found it when my ship broke down

I was cast far away from shore
I was guided in by a strange light

Out of the sky
I found my what and why

Out of the sky
I found my what and why

Let’s play Happy Families,
Just you and me

You can be the nurse, and I’ll be the victim
You can be the Goddess, and I’ll be the pilgrim

We can go in search of the Holy Grail
We can go in search of Home

Let’s play Happy Families,
Just you and me

Let’s make it better than just playing pretend
‘Cause I love you so much

I don’t want this to end

Let’s make the lullaby true,
I love you so much

Just so you know
I tell you

Just so you know
‘Cause I want you to find out

It’s a happy ending
It’s a Ferris Wheel love

It spins and spins,
Lighting up all our faces

You can see the children are so happy,
I’m happy too

It’s a true good thing
That much I know

And don’t walk,
Please don’t walk away

Because it’s a true good thing
Because my heart knows what and why

Out of the sky
The Sun God delivered me a sign

Out of the sky
Fell a fellow soul

And I try to make it all roses where you land,
So please forgive any thorns

I’ve lived a life where you can’t avoid a few jagged edges,
But is that really so uncommon?

My heart is raining with flowers
I don’t feel like the bad guy anymore

The ocean is alight with burning ships,
I’m driving thru the night smiling
I’m almost flying

We both gave our hearts,
We got a love song and we got a true thing

Yeah, it’s a true good thing
That much I know,

I don’t want to wake you
You look so much at peace

I wish you every happiness, and I give you a harbor to come Home to.

(David Finn, 2004)
