All My Happiness Is Gone

Lyrics

Friends are warmer than gold when you're old
 And keeping them is harder than you might suppose
 Lately, I tend to make strangers wherever I go
 Some of them were once people I was happy to know
 ♪
 Mounting mileage on the dash
 Double darkness falling fast
 I keep stressing, pressing on
 Way deep down at some substratum
 Feels like something really wrong has happened
 And I confess, I'm barely hanging on
 ♪
 All my happiness is gone
 All my happiness is gone
 It's all gone somewhere beyond
 All my happiness is gone
 ♪
 Ten thousand afternoons ago
 All my happiness just overflowed
 That was life at first and goal to go
 Me and you and us and them
 And all those people way back when
 All our hardships were just yardsticks then, you know
 You know
 Not the purple hills
 It's not the silver lake
 It's not the snowcloud shadowed interstates
 It's not the icy bike chain rain of Portland, Oregon
 Where nothing's wrong and no one's asking
 But the fear's so strong it leaves you gasping
 No way to last out here like this for long
 'Cause everywhere I go, I know
 Everywhere I go, I know
 All my happiness is gone
 All my happiness is gone
 It's all gone somewhere beyond
 All my happiness is gone
