Happy Land

In a cup of coffee, she's dancing on her tiptoes
In a smooth black dress and round and round it goes
Her hair is swirling round her bare ivory shoulders
She's alone and free and takes nobody's orders

And somewhere near in a happy land she knows
Her wish comes true and the gates don't close
Too soon
To those who wait on the edge of this road
And fight their fear in the dark and the cold
Just a step away

A dash of milk, no sugar, the man said to the waiter
He'd got more than he asked for as he realised later
With a silver spoon he stirred his cofee slowly
And the smell was drifting into another story

And somewhere near in happy land he knew
His wish came true and the gate was was blue
Like sky
On a sunny day, when your life's just the road
You can get away from the dark and the cold
And have no fear

In a cup of coffee
He said to the waiter
In a smooth black dress
As he realised later
Her hair is swirling round
As he is stirring slowly
She's alone and free
And in a another story
Or is it the same story?

And somewhere near in a happy land they know
Their wish comes true new life says hello
Once more
To those who walk in the sun on this road
And who got away from the dark and the cold
And have no fear.
