Happy Birthday Dear Me The sun rises grey on a cold November day And the heater in the hotel has died Last night's gig was survived by playing with closed eyes And all the FaceBook wishes make me feel so far away Happy birthday Happy birthday to me Happy birthday Happy birthday dear me Alone on my birthday in a town that's not my own I head out collar up ‘cross cold cobblestone Perhaps a movie but the theatres they all show the same damn thing Men with guns missing women killing men There's something about touring as you turn another year Another stage in a life spent strumming strings It's the feeling that your work has always been about selling beer When you thought it was about more sacred things I miss my home, my garden, my family and my dog And I can't believe this road I'm on Last night outside of Leeds driving scared into the fog I sang that damn fool song just to try to keep calm And my voice was shaky as i peered into the mist Singing the saddest tune surely ever penned A melody sang to me by strangers and by friends That always reminds me of everyone I miss
