Tift Merritt Keep You Happy lyrics

The sky is turning and longing for something far away
The moon's a tear drop, see slowly as it falls away
Miles running down a face, everything's bound to change
It's bound to change

Day breaks of tenderness, so hold me here like this
So still and quiet as if it might keep you happy
Oh, keep you happy, oh, keep you happy, oh, keep you happy

A feeling has me and tells me it will never stay
Your heart beats miles now, I feel them as they run away
Close gets so far away, close gets so far

Day breaks of loneliness, I'd weather all of this
If I could find a place where I'd keep you happy
Oh, keep you happy, oh, keep you happy, oh, keep you happy


Why do we pretend there is something to hold onto?
See how my world fell in, I was trying to hold you
I was just trying to hold you

Night is a gypsy he tells me he will never stay
Miles are like heart beats, I know them as they fly away
See how they fly away, see as I fly

Day breaks of restlessness, I'm filled with all of this
But deep inside what will I find to keep me happy
Oh, keep me happy, oh, keep me happy, oh, keep me happy, oh
