Cycles Lyrics - Rickie Lee Jones

So I'm down and so I'm 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 I think, Ill stay awhile 

And see what tomorrow brings 

I've been told and I believe 

That life is meant for livin' 

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 just run in cycles 

First there's laughter, then those 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 

Things can't get worse than now 

But I'll keep on tryin' to sing 

But please, just don't ask me how
