Miracles keep happening The sun rose in the east today I sat up and sighed for the millionth time As the dawn was phasing a night away The blues can last for just so long And from the depth There will arise another song And I'll sit here in the sea and the sun Waiting for that other song to come That other song to come You don't have to be black to sing the blues From what I gather all you got to be is blue Self-indulgence is universal Adolescence was merely a rehearsal Look around you and you will see Everyone has a small franchise on misery On misery And I will sing you a song Just as soon as I get my voice When you're up, you're up And when you're down You really got no choice No rain this winter The manzanita reminded me We've been living in a drought And the ocean looks good to me Haven't been in love for a year or so Because I get fussy And hard to live with as I grow Ask the hungry manzanita You cannot cross a cypress and a cedar And a cedar My moods are changing like the sea There are a hundred things That I'd like to be Meanwhile I'll sit in the sun Waiting for that other song to come That other song to come And I will sing it to you Just as soon as I get my voice When you're up, you're really up And when you're down You really got no choice
