Notes: Henny is Norman's wife of many years. She knows that his move to the Caribbean is a midddleaged 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 marrage. 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
3
Bewildered all to hell
4
Up north I have my mid-town life
5
Down here my new hotel
6
What kind of a dream is this
7
Ion't know where I will land
8
It's a Caribbean fairy tale
9
The snow has turned to sand
10
Chorus:
11
But he's happy
12
I understand
13
And thats the key
14
To my man

Bridge:
16
I'd like to have a clearer view
17
And listen to my hunches
18
Without the rum-lined Kinjan fog
19
Of a thousand planter's Punches
20
Iguess I'll have to let it go
21
And simply tag along
22
Just let myself get all caught up
23
Forget what's right or wrong
24
What kind of dream is this
25
That's causing me this strife
26
My husband's chasing windmills
27
And I'm still the nervous wife
28
Chorus:
29
Cause he's happy
30
And he's my man
31
What good's this key in my hand
32
Oh he's happy
33
I understand
34
And that's the key
35
To my man
