Cycles Lyrics by Rod McKuen

Cycles

0

So I'm down, so I'm out
But so are many others
So I feel like trying to hide
My head beneath these covers
Life is like the seasons
After Winter comes the Spring
So I'll keep this smile awhile
And see what tomorrow brings
I've been told and I believe
Life is meant for living
Even when my chips are low
There's still some left for giving
I've been many places
Maybe not as far as you
So I think I'll stay a while
And see if some dreams come true
There isn't much that I have learned
Through all my foolish years
Except that life keeps running in cycles
First there's laughter, then there's tears
But I'll keep my head up high
Although I'm kind of tired
My gal just up and left last week
Friday I got fired
You know it's almost funny
But things can't get worse than now
So I'll keep on trying to sing
But please, just don't ask me now
