Happiness is just a cloud, hangs around for awhile
Then blows through town
You can’t lock it inside, stuff it in a jar
Or ride the tail of a shooting star

Can’t always be cheerful, comfy and strong
Some little birds get lost in the storm
Gotta spread your wings, fly from the heart
And know that the morning light will follow the dark

I was raised up poor, nine mouths to feed
Sometimes hungry but never in need
There was music in the kitchen fire in the stove
And something like love used to knock at the door

Can’t always be cheerful, comfy and strong
Some little birds get lost in the storm
Gotta spread your wings, fly from the heart
And know that the morning light will follow the dark

When I’m feeling low and down
I just want to paint the whole town blue

Sadness is just a cloud, hangs around for awhile
Then blows through town
You can’t lock it outside, or pack it up and move it
You’ve just gotta strike a minor chord
And sing right through it

Can’t always be cheerful, comfy and strong
Some little birds get lost in the storm
Gotta spread your wings, fly from the heart
And know that the morning light will follow the dark
Follow the Dark (X3)
