The Way of Happiness

The Way of Happiness is about Drinking. In this song the main character sees a light in the window of the house where his true Love lives. He knows he should go to her to show her his affection and for the comfort of them both. Instead he is drawn by the pint there in his Father's old flask and for whatever irrational reason, he would rather get drunk alone than explore Love.
