St overnight.



I find myself between two worlds

Bewildered all to hell

Up north i have my mid-town life

Down here my new hotel

What kind of a dream is this

Ion't know where i will land

It's a caribbean fairy tale

The snow has turned to sand



Chorus:

But he's happy

I understand

And thats the key

To my man



Bridge:

I'd like to have a clearer view

And listen to my hunches

Without the rum-lined kinjan fog

Of a thousand planter's punches

Iguess i'll have to let it go

And simply tag along

Just let myself get all caught up

Forget what's right or wrong

What kind of dream is this

That's causing me this strife

My husband's chasing windmills

And i'm still the nervous wife



Chorus:

Cause he's happy

And he's my man

What good's this key in my hand

Oh he's happy

I understand

And that's the key

To my man
