Every once in a while it comes around;
A blazing comet you can see from the ground.
Man, it draws a line across your sky
And everything changes in the blink of an eye.
Every once in a while it spits a spark
And all at once you can see in the dark
What was gray is now vivid and bright
Now that it’s bathed in a remarkable light.
It’s out there circling the sky
And I would have thought
It would have come down by now.
A good comet is so hard to find
But [I found] every once in a while it comes around.
All my heart is held in the hope.
It’s out there circling the sky
And I would have thought
It would have come down by now.
A good comet is so hard to find
But [I found] every once in a while it comes around.
So, I once pretended the sunrise
Was a long-lost lover found—
A good comet is so hard to find
But [I found] every once in a while it comes around.
But every once in a while it comes around;
An easy rain on an easy town
And you hold out your hand just to catch the drops
And you look to find that it’s a comet you caught.
All my heart is held in the hope.
