Reason Or Rhyme Lyrics - Olympia - 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 

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 pass 

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 I could give 

The sun and moon and all the stars 

They bow down to you whenever you pass 

No reason or rhyme, by chance or design 

Just a dance to the music of time
