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      ___________________________________________________________   *written by Bob Geldof   *taken from the album entitled "The Vegetarians of Love"
