Cycles Lyrics
Rickie Lee Jones
So Im down and so Im out
So are many others
So I feel like tryin
To hide my head
neath these covers
Life is like the seasons
After winter comes the spring
So Ill and stay awhile
And see what tomorrow brings
Ive been told and I believe
That life is meant for livin
Even when my chips are low
Theres still some left for givin
Ive been many places
Maybe not as far as you
So I think Ill stay awhile
And see if some dreams come true
There isnt much that I have learned
Through all my foolish years
Except that life just run in cycles
First theres laughter then those tears
But Ill keep my head up high
Although Im kind of tired
Oh I just up and left last week
Friday I got fired
You know its almost funny
Things cant get worse than now
But Ill keep on tryin to sing
But please just dont ask me how
