Lyrics
Rita's Theme (From 'educating Rita')
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Try to find the rhyme and reason
But time and the seasons just fade away
And you're flying blind with French high heels on
And high ideals on
As you try to find the pearl inside you
The girl inside who tries to break away
But you're frightened of failure
Big words other people use
They're all quoting Mailer
And rubbing shoulders with Marcel Proust
And there's someone you'll show you
There's someone to hold your hand
There's someone who knows you
He's helping you understand
He'll be there when you call
Pick you up when you fall
But you're frightened of failure
Big words other people use
They're all quoting Mailer
And rubbing shoulders with Marcel Proust
And there's someone you'll show you
There's someone to hold your hand
There's someone who knows you
He's helping you understand
He'll be there when you call
Pick you up when you fall
Till you've found your wings
You've got no chains on
He'll make no claims on
The girl he used to know
You can walk away
You're on your own now
You're fully grown now
As you try to find the rhyme and reason
Of time, how seasons just come and go
