lyrics

Miracles Come (Once In A While)

After all the misfires at the start
A moment to sigh
Calms me through the lateness of the hours
Awake and moon dried
Ooh, my darlin'
All you're bringing to the table
Has overflowed beyond any doubt
You're living proof

Miracles come once in a while
Happens in so many years
So many miles

The customary cost of yanking chains
Is virtue denied
Talking with or running into walls
The need was implied
Ooh, my darlin'
Takes a petty situation
And turns It over
Pointing out very clearly the truth

That miracles come once in a while
I can't be constantly wrong all of the time

Patronizing pricks the fingered fate
The jokester replied
The catterwhallin cats of yesterday
Are moaning outside
Ooh, darlin'
It doesn't really take a train car
To run me over
Before you see a major changed attitude

Miracles come once in a while
Once in a while
So many miles
So many miles
Once in a while
