something's coming

this is how i always feel as i end a semester. two finals left! at 3pm on tuesday i will be a free woman! it's also how i felt last year when my nephew was about to be born any minute. but this time, i won't be back in school this fall. and rafael is already here! (see above on passover) i also won't be or scrambling for a summer job. or pulling my hair out to sublet my apt. instead, i'll be going on a few retreats, my nephew's first birthday party, a trip to israel, and then starting a new full-time job. who knows what else can happen? it's all about to explode and be super exciting.

Could be
Who knows?
There's something due any day
I will know right away
Soon as it shows
It may come cannonballin' down through the sky
Gleam in its eye
Bright as a rose!
Who knows?
It's only just out of reach
Down the block, on a beach
Under a tree
I got a feeling there's a miracle due
Gonna come true
Coming to me
Could it be?
Yes it could
Something's coming
Something good
If I can wait
Something's coming I don't know what it is
But it is
Gonna be great!
With a click
With a shock
Phone'll jingle
Door'll knock
Open the latch!
Something's coming, don't know when
But it's soon
Catch the moon
One handed catch
Around the corner
Or whistling down the river
Come on - deliver
To me
Will it be? Yes it will
Maybe just by holding still
It'll be there!
Come on, something, come on in
Don't be shy
Meet a guy
Pull up a chair
The air is hummin'
And something great is coming
Who knows
It's only just
Out of reach
Down the block, on a beach
Maybe tonight
Maybe tonight...
