We were happy here Even in the cold spells Even with the roads like the frozen river We would keep each other warm And we were happy here With the soup on the fire And the wind in the chimney And the floors too cold for bare feet And we were happy here When the spring broke the ice And there were limbs to be cleared And the melting snow Let the pines spring back up toward the sky And we were happy here Even when the rains came And the storms broke the sea With a whistle and drum And the moon ran for cover And the house shook all over And the cats would hide under the bed But we were happy here With our simple life It was our whole life And we were happy here Before the news came That the world was small And the roar was loud And not quite so distant after all I remember how it felt before the fall I remember the day when we heard the call And the walls came down And our perfect dream was gone But we were happy here When the cries of our babies Were the only cries And our bad moods The only bad moods Which we coaxed and stroked Just like our own private fires But we were happy here Before
