Happy Birthday, Baby - Hiss Golden Messenger

Happy birthday, baby

Go love your brother now

It’s a strange gift maybe

Girl, you know me better

Than I know myself

I’m trying to repay you

For all these miles that I roam

When I’m far away, baby

Know that I love you

And sing this little song

One: Was a lonely number

Two: You were born in thunder

Three: It was lightning quick

You lit up the house like a matchstick

Four: Child, you’re a wonder

Held me tight when the world went under

Five: Sweet Ione, can I tell you I love you?

Happy birthday, baby

Go love your mama now

I guess we better face it

I’m a lonely swimmer a long, long way from shore

Shall I tell the story

Like there’s only one to tell?

And when you think of me

Think of me better

Than I think of myself

One: Was a lonely number

Two: You were born in thunder

Three: It was lightning quick

You lit up the house like a matchstick

Four: Child, you’re a wonder

Held me tight when the world went under

Five: Sweet Ione, can I tell you I love you?
