Bright Eyes
I Won’t Ever Be Happy Again (Companion Version)
[Verse 1]
Well, morning came, it dressed the sky
In a lovely yellow gown
Now the shops they are all opening
In that narrow hallway of downtown
[Refrain]
Filled with people who are shopping for
Their lovers and their friends
Saying they won't ever be lonely again
[Verse 2]
Well a forest fence becomes backyards
Like songs are born from sound
And the apple fell and it taught us all
We are chained here to the ground
[Refrain]
So I mean, here we go but there ain't no escape
These streets, they're just dead ends
So I won't ever be happy again
[Verse 3]
Well, it seems you, too, see a painful blue
When you stare into the sky
You could never understand
The motion of a hand waving you goodbye
[Verse 4]
But as the story goes or it is often told
A new day will arise
And all the dance halls will be full of the skeletons
That are coming on back to life
[Refrain]
And on a grassy hill, the lion will
Lay down with the lamb
And I won't ever be lonely again
No, no, no, no, no!
[Outro]
But until that time
I think I'd better find
Some disbelief to suspend
'Cause I don't want to feel like this again
