Chorus: G - C


A RICOCHET FROM DAISY DAYS
SPARKED OFF AN IMPURE THOUGHT
IN A SACRED PLACE
AS CANDLES BURN, AS VOICES HUM
AS GUILT FROM PASSION SPILLS
AND THE SAINTS LOOK ON

I CANNOT HIDE
I CANNOT HIDE

CHORUS:

THIS HAPPY GIRL

I KNOW YOU’RE HERE
WHISPER INTO MY EAR
BLOOD THIRSTS FOR A TRICKLE OF WORDS
JUST WHAT I WANT TO HEAR
AS CANDLES BURN, AS VOICES HUM
AS GUILT FROM PASSION SPILLS
AND THE SAINTS LOOK ON

I CANNOT HIDE
I CANNOT HIDE

THIS HAPPY GIRL
