Dark skies are falling down on my head tonight
   But I looked up and I could clearly see that moon
   For a second I thought I was somewhere
   Romantic like Mississippi
   But I was walking down Chelsea Bayou
   It takes you by suprise the places you find yourself in
   One minute you're here
   Next minute you're there
   And then you're gone
   If it wasn't for a well placed sense of direction
   You could lose your head and simply carry on
   Walking back to happiness
   I've been walking back to happiness
   Like Helen Shapiro did
   Me and Helen
   Arm in arm
  
   Foghorns boom the daylight gloom descends
   Too soon on wintry afternoons
   That frightened heart of youth is with me now
   Still staring out from it's upstairs room
   And you can take any road you wish to walk on
   You can swim to the furthest shore
   Or you can be like Joan of Arc babe
   And plug into the planet's core
   And go walking back to happiness
   I feel happy already watch me smile
   See me laughing
   Later on see me cry
  
   And as it gets colder and the night wears on a little bit
   I cool down yes I cool my heels
   I remember my father and me down on the East Pier
   He's pointing at the ships saying "They're leaving here"
   Where do they go?
   Where do they go?
   Eastward Ho
   Eastward Ho
   Yes I remember my father
   Standing on the edge of the Pier
   Pointing with his finger "Eastward Ho"
   And were walking back to happiness
   And here we go
