Walking Back To Happiness Video (MV)

Dark skies are falling down on my head tonight

But I looked up and I could clearly see that moon

For a second I thought I was somewhere

Romantic like Mississippi

But I was walking down Chelsea Bayou

It takes you by suprise the places you find yourself in

One minute you're here

Next minute you're there

And then you're gone

If it wasn't for a well placed sense of direction

You could lose your head and simply carry on

Walking back to happiness

I've been walking back to happiness

Like Helen Shapiro did

Me and Helen

Arm in arm



Foghorns boom the daylight gloom descends

Too soon on wintry afternoons

That frightened heart of youth is with me now

Still staring out from it's upstairs room

And you can take any road you wish to walk on

You can swim to the furthest shore

Or you can be like Joan of Arc babe

And plug into the planet's core

And go walking back to happiness

I feel happy already watch me smile

See me laughing

Later on see me cry



And as it gets colder and the night wears on a little bit

I cool down yes I cool my heels

I remember my father and me down on the East Pier

He's pointing at the ships saying "They're leaving here"

Where do they go?

Where do they go?

Eastward Ho

Eastward Ho

Yes I remember my father

Standing on the edge of the Pier

Pointing with his finger "Eastward Ho"

And were walking back to happiness

And here we go
