Verse 1:
                         
	You ask me if i'm happy now
                                 	
	That's good as any joke i've heard

	It seems since i've seen you last
			  	           
	I've done forgotten the meening of the words

	If happiness is empty rooms

	And drinkin' in the afternoon
				
	Well i suppose i'm happy as a clown
	     
	But if it's got a thing to do

	With smilin' of forgettin' you
				     
	Well i don't guess that i could say i am


Chorus:
	 
	Did you ever see a darling out a waken up alone
					
	Without a blanket on to keep him from the dew

	When the water from the weeds that sop the paper
									 
	He's been puttin' in his shoes to keep the ground from comin' through

	And his future feels as empty as the pocket in his pants
					     
	Because he's never seen a single dream come true
		
	That's the way that i've been feelin' since the day i started fallen

	From the bottle to the bottom stew by stew
				
	Learnin' hard to live with losin' you


Verse 2:
	  
	You wonder if i'm better off
				           
	With freedom now to do the things i choose

	With all my times my own and
			                         
	I got nothin' left but sleepin' time to lose

	There's no one here to carry on

	If i stay out the whole night lone
				  
	Give a thinker's damn if i don't call
	    
	I'm livin' like i wanted you

	And doin' things i wanna do
				         
	And nothin' means a things to me at all


Chorus.
