I am Happiness

I'm a fading sun

like a dying day

The weeping willow

and the lonely bay

I'm a little vessel

adrift at sea

I'm the lonely hilltop

and the silent breeze

I am just a will o' the wisp

you always try to follow

I disappear before you reach me

And if you should try to capture me, you won't

I'm never fully here at all

I'm that shooting star

you never see

Whether near or far

you cannot find me

I am the illusive creature

of the deep

That one treasure sought for

you'll never keep

I am like a little vessel

adrift at sea

I am a spider's thread

you cannot see

But still you come for me...

I'm still the will o' the wisp

you try to follow

I'll disappear before you reach me

And if you try to capture me, you won't

I'm never fully here at all

I'm the mountain tall

you cannot climb

I am the bridge to cross

you cannot find

I am the dragonfly

you'll never ride

and the weeping willow

where I hide

Like the fading sun

I'm the dying day

A lonely hill

or a lonely bay

I'm that dream you never seem to have

And yet you keep on trying to

But I'm the will o' the wisp

you shouldn't follow

I like to disappear before you reach me

And I'll never, ever let you catch me

For I'm never fully here at all
