Reason or Rhyme Songtext
von Bryan Ferry

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 pass
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


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 pass
No reason or rhyme, no presence of mind
Just a dance to the music of time
