Happy, The End Lyrics
In this story
we sit down on Luna Bridge
and catch snow in our cupped hands
and music is coming from the houses
or it sings inside me
I begin to mend
Oh happy, oh happy, the end,
the end, the end.
In this painting
the whole world is navy blue
I run home from the mailbox
in all the dim of five o'clock
to see you.
Cars and trees go by me,
you are in the yard
and in my arms again
Oh happy, oh happy, the end,
the end , the end
Happy, oh happy
the end.
we sit down on Luna Bridge
and catch snow in our cupped hands
and music is coming from the houses
or it sings inside me
I begin to mend
Oh happy, oh happy, the end,
the end, the end.
the whole world is navy blue
I run home from the mailbox
in all the dim of five o'clock
to see you.
Cars and trees go by me,
you are in the yard
and in my arms again
Oh happy, oh happy, the end,
the end , the end
Happy, oh happy
the end.

what a sweet song! She is a great lyricist. Splendid, just splendid.
Such a perfect song. It feels like childhood, Christmas, love.
just.. the most beautiful song i've heard, makes you mournful but optimistic all at once.
I don't think it is at all optimistic. I think the song is considering happy endings that "could have been" but were not.
I see this song as the view of someone approaching the end of life. The last thoughts you hold inside you that will linger on forever as you fade away. “You are in my yard and in my arms again. So Happy, the End”. Then the music fades slowly away wrapped up in a joyful memory for eternity.
This is so wonderful. The song sounds sad, but it isn't at all! I take it as so hopeful.
"Cars and trees go by me, you are in the yard and in my arms again"
She knows that love is waiting for her, and she's perfectly content with it; she's not worried if her lover won't be there waiting for her because their love is real. I love the repetitiveness of "Oh happy, oh happy, the end" Just perfect.
very nostalgic and beautiful. I'm so glad the words are available now. I've got a problem with lines 5 and 6. They don't seem to mean anything. I hear "Inside me I began to mend" I've no idea what "or it sings" means. Are these words the actual lyrics or what someone heard and then everyone copied? Do they make sense to you?
@odip It is 'I begin to mend'...not 'mind'. 'Music is coming from the houses or it sings inside me'...if she is like me she usually has a song playing inside her head...if not coming from the houses!
