Miracle

from I Love Birds by Coyote Wall

another summer in a gospel haze
another waste of the sunny days 
a couple weeks of the same malaise
and then i’m on my way

an irresistible invitation
sing a hymn for all creation 
last train at the empty station
and nothing more to say 

every day is a miracle
red yellow and blue
every day is a miracle with you

cool water in the jersey heat
empire of empty streets 
never one to admit defeat
but never one to win

bare skin and barley wine
ran out of our endless time
too close to the finish line
too far to start again

every day is a miracle
red yellow and blue
every day is a miracle with you

never had a master plan
the sun must set on everything 
i’ve delayed it all i can
we were lucky to have 
what little we knew
every day is a miracle with you

every day is a miracle
red yellow and blue
every day is a miracle with you
