MIRACLES
|
(Words and Music by Joan Baez)
|
|
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
|
