lyrics

Happy

Sunday after church
Playing in the parking lot with friends from Sunday school
The grass was wet and cool and we were crouching in the trees
Finger guns and bark grenades and a green stain on my knee
Happy as an eight year old could be

Wednesday at the church
Everyone was there and there were crock pots everywhere
Casseroles and hot carafes and lots of deviled eggs
Launching our balloons and watching a red one float away
Happy as a red balloon could be

All these inbetweens
They help me to ignore the darker things
If I keep that part in front of me and the pain on my periphery
I can stumble on with blinders till it's all behind me
And gone

On our way to church
Running late as always put your shoes on in the car
Twenty minutes on the highway never seemed so far
Cranky and uncomfortable in a polyester suit
