Happy Eddie

Just a noise from the TV show,
What they talk about I don´t know,
I try to listen but I don´t hear,
I close my eyes and I try to make them disappear,
Open the window as the rain stops falling,
I hear my name somebody is calling,
Voices echo from far away,
I heaar the words but I don´t know what
They´re trying to say.

Happy Eddie, are you happy? Happy Eddie!

I´d run away but there´s nowhere to run to,
I´d try to stay but there´s no-one to turn to,
The past is gone but what´s to come,
The show has just begun.

Oh Eddie, Look around as the rain starts falling
Are you happy? There´s a way already
I say Eddie, Listen out to the voicee that´s calling
Happy Eddie!

I can see it in collective eyes,
That gather round as the sunlight dies,
I try to reach out and capture my fear,
All that happens is they disappear,
Sillhoettes flow withoout a sound,
Eyes are waching from all around,
I hear my name somebody is calling
The voice is drowned as the rain starts falling.

Happy Eddie, are you happy? Happy Eddie!

Get in my car and I drive away,
I may be running but I just can´t stay,
There´s one thing that I can do,
Is take a chance on something new in my life,
In my time, in my way.
