Up On Things

From time to time the world goes blue
Trouble runs so many rings
Around us, but you
You never give up on things
You never give up on things

You know me. My forecasts call
For earthquakes and locust wings
You weather me through it all
You never give up on things
You never give up on things

I see what's there because of what you show
The island through the mist, the wisteria in the snow
The silhouette of a cowboy with a parrot on his toe
That was just a big bruise on an apple that I was about to throw

Away we go on life's great race
On wheels or on airplane wings
We'll go every place
And never give up on things
We'll never give up on things

We may share fates with bums or kings
But we'll never give up on things
