Keep You Happy - Tift Merritt

The sky is turning and longing for something far away

The moon’s a tear drop, see slowly as it falls away

Miles running down a face, everything’s bound to change

It’s bound to change

Day breaks of tenderness, so hold me here like this

So still and quiet as if it might keep you happy

Oh, keep you happy, oh, keep you happy, oh, keep you happy

A feeling has me and tells me it will never stay

Your heart beats miles now, I feel them as they run away

Close gets so far away, close gets so far

Day breaks of loneliness, I’d weather all of this

If I could find a place where I’d keep you happy

Oh, keep you happy, oh, keep you happy, oh, keep you happy

Why do we pretend there is something to hold onto?

See how my world fell in, I was trying to hold you

I was just trying to hold you

Night is a gypsy he tells me he will never stay

Miles are like heart beats, I know them as they fly away

See how they fly away, see as I fly

Day breaks of restlessness, I’m filled with all of this

But deep inside what will I find to keep me happy

Oh, keep me happy, oh, keep me happy, oh, keep me happy, oh
