Betting on a Better Day
Drew James© 2007

The day begins at midnight
Night falls at the dawn
And in between they fight it out
Until the writings on the wall

The full moon’s at its brightest
Just before it wanes
But we all know when the lights go out
It will all come around again

Betting on a better day (X2)

The earth turns like a pinwheel
Round and round the sun
And the sun does twirls around something else
And it just goes on and on

And it works in both directions
If you look in rather than out
What you’ll find is tiny atoms
Every one spinning about

Betting on a better day (X2)

You know it makes me wonder
About this thing called time
Maybe it’s not just a one way street
Nature don’t seem to draw straight lines

And if time were a circle
It would mean it would have no end
Just when we think it’s over
It’s just a turn around instead

And we’ll be headed back to then
Betting on a better day (X4)
