Happy the Man Lyrics
I'll never understand
(Come closer and I'll whisper)
Who was that standing in the rain?
If only I could remember
What he said...
(And how it all began)
Happy the man
With the face that smiles!
But it has to have a name
(Something strong
Something faithful
Something pure... )
How does he look so safe?
He'll never
Never turn away
Happy the man...
(Come closer and I'll whisper)
Who was that standing in the rain?
If only I could remember
What he said...
(And how it all began)
With the face that smiles!
(Something strong
Something faithful
Something pure... )
How does he look so safe?
Never turn away
Happy the man...

Check out John Dryden‘s poem „Happy the Man“
This one is anybody's guess. I'll be the first one to say I don't know for sure. There seems to be no "from the horses mouth" answer from Smith. As a guess I would say Robert ran into someone who was deep in their own convictions, enough to be so certain that all the things in life were sussed out for them, therefore quite happy. Smith, being the freethinker was probably fascinated by this self-assured belief and captivated in some way by things that were said, kind of wishing he could remember the prolific words that were said after the fact because they sort of made sense at the time. Then again, under the influence of drink or drug, things may seem very prolific and interesting over dull mundane life and this is mere contemplation after the event. This also hints at people who proselytize their religious beliefs, being "strong", "faithful", "pure", etc. Smith being an atheist like many others could be just saying he'll never understand how people could firmly believe so securely their theology without evidence.
tHIS SONG IS PROBABLY ABOUT TAKING DRUGS AND WRITNIG LYRICS TO A SIMPLE TUNE. (?)
