It'll Shine When It Shines

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 you're dead
 And you got to give
 And give, and give
 
 There's a pebble in the pond
 Going on and on
 Making waves and tides
 And ripples and rain
 
 There's a leaf in the wind
 That don't know where to end
 Chasing days and ways
 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
 And 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 alone
 ♪
 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
