A promise is hard to forget
And it's hard to keep
It blows in like the west wind
Gusty and kind and clean
The heart is not smart
But I admit I listen to it
The sweetest songs sing the saddest thoughts
A heart knows how to heal
But the mind needs some convincing
Happiness Is not a place
Happiness is not a place
I'll never live in a cave
Behind a waterfall
Or swing from the oak tree at the house where you grew up
The heart plays her part but I confess
I don't know what's best
The sweetest songs sing the saddest thoughts
A heart knows how to heal
But the mind needs some convincing
Happiness Is not a place
Happiness is not a place
I've never seen Paris in the spring
Or slept with you in a pillow room
Hold my hands while I dig a grave
For the seed, we give our grief
Happiness is not a place
Happiness is not a place
Happiness is not a place
Happiness is not a place
