Cycles Lyrics - Leonard Nimoy

So I'm down and so I'm out 

But 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 I'll keep this smile awhile 

And see what tomorrow brings 

I've been told and I believe 

That life is meant for livin' 

And even when my chips are low 

There's still some left for givin' 

I've been many places 

Maybe not as far as you 

So I think I'll stay awhile 

And see if some dreams come true 

There isn't much that I have learned 

Through all my foolish years 

Except that life keeps runnin' in cycles 

First there's laughter, then those tears 

But I'll keep my head up high 

Although I'm kinda 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 tryin' to sing 

But please, just don't ask me how
