Henny's Song: The Key To My Man

歌詞

Notes: Henny is Norman's wife of many years. She knows that his move to the Caribbean is a middle-aged fantasy, fraught with potential disaster, but she means to stand by him. Though she to is snared by the island's charm, she's smart enough too know it's an illusion. She's not quite smart enough to perceive that Iris Tramm is a threat to their marriage. Henny sings this song at the Kinja airport, as she is returning to New York to close up their apartment. Off and on Jimmy and I talked about having a "Married Love Song" for Henny. During rehearsal Jimmy wrote this lovely song almost 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 I don'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 that's 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 I guess 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
