Small Miracles

Her stony silent watching ripped my confidence to shreds Maybe I’d be better off doing anything else instead Then in a single moment a solitary teardrop fell The look of pride in her sparkling eyes told me all she needed to tell These are small miracles They’re still miracles my friends These are small miracles They’re still miracles my friends If I shot for what I wanted and I missed by a mile I’d be a mile further from home but at least I could smile With satisfaction finally at having taken my shot Cos it’s the risk that you take, not the reward that you’ve got These are small miracles They’re still miracles my friends These are small miracles They’re still miracles my friends Close your eyes and you will see Crazy, hazy memories A fraction of what you used to be Then open them to what’s around Allow your ears to hear the sound You’ll learn of what you are about Lately I’ve been reeling like a ship caught in a storm Land on the horizon but that ain’t where I’m going Then as all hope collapses she brings to me the calm So complete are my primal needs as I slumber in her arms These are small miracles They’re still miracles my friends These are small miracles They’re still miracles my friends
