It'll Shine When It Shines

(アルバム： It'll Shine When It Shines - 1974)

The old cat on the roof
He could stand a little push
'Cause he's got nine good lives to live

But like my Mama said
You only live till your dead
And you got to give and give and give

There's a pebble in a pond
Going on and on
Making waves and tides and ripples and rain
There's a leaf in the wind
That don't no where to end
Chasing days and waves and wishes and dreams

Seems like everyone is out, looking for the sun
Singing rain and pain on he who hesitates
But it'll shine when it shines
You might think I'm wasting time
But I'm just a good old boy that's learned to wait

Wipperwil's in the Dawn
Pretty soon he'll be gone
But he's got one good song to sing
But like my Daddy said
It's in your heart not your head
And you've got to sing and sing and sing

There's a window in the wall
Looking out on it all
Leaving fears and tears and troubles along
There's a fire in the stove
Keeping out the cold
Warming wine and winters and babies and homes

Seems like everyone is out looking for the sun
Singing rain and pain on he who hesitates
But it'll shine when it shines
You might think I'm wasting time
But I'm just a good old boy that's learned to wait
Yes I'm just a good old boy that's learned to wait
