The Bryan Ferry Orchestra - Reason Or Rhyme lyrics

Why must you shed such tender tears In the evening of your years? No other love could stem the tide Of the loneliness I hide Open your heart and let me live All the promises I could give The sun and moon and all the stars They bow down to you whenever you pa** In a world of fading sadness An emerald ring, a photograph That look in your eyes, the brush of your cheek These are the moments in life that I seek No reason or rhyme, no presence of mind Just a dance to the music of time Why must you shed such tender tears In the evening of your years? No other love could stem the tide Of the loneliness I hide Inside out, upside down Obscured by clouds, or underground The sun and moon and all the stars They bow down to you whenever you pa** Wherever you are, whenever you speak These are the moments in my life that I seek No reason or rhyme, by chance or design Just a dance to the music of time Open your heart and let me live All the promises that I could give The sun and moon and all the stars They bow down to you whenever you pa** No reason or rhyme, by chance or design Just a dance to the music of time
