lyrics

happiness
is a simple thing
they walked along the board walk
look out to sea

the flight of gulls
two guys in love
a boy on a horse
in the distance

some distant thunder
over by the hills
a distant rumble
from the highway

we drove into town
to look for a stereo
but the store was closed
cause it was Sunday

back to the beach
those guys were still walking there
completely oblivious
of terrible times in the New York Times

over in the town
they were getting out of church
kids were running around
in there Sunday best

hey John come on over
we'll have a beer
and listen to my new records
and listen to my new records
