Happiness from Cutter Street by Seán Barna

I pulled your ticket from the well
Through the skylight where you fell
And you knew I'd be leaving in the morning
But in my mind I am still with you

Then I heard someone say that I might want some happiness
And I look for the reason I could not relate
I can stand on the steps in the rain and just wait for us
Bleeding the need to be some other place

Bar light breaks across your face
I die with secrets that I make
So, I needed to tell you
That I hope you'll be around

And I am getting the feeling that I have got to get out of here
All these faces around me are looking the same
And that boy in the shadows will always be standing there
With his complex smile and his simple grace

And he'll keep making his mistakes
And he said he thought he needed a break
But at night when he is sleeping
Just lying there breathing
Just thinking of leaving
He still shakes

Grab coffee from the street
Sleep with all the people that you meet
And I think that I will miss you
So, please say your name

When I drink you home, it's red
So, I'll bring the bottle to my bed
