Reasonably Fine
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.
I lost my shoes I lost my wife
I lost my keys I lost my kite
And though I'm young at heart I'm so much older
Subway eyes and banked up skies
And violent towns and frozen pies
And all them football crowds who lost are cold now
But you're the same as you and I'm the same as me
And hopefully we can find ways to let us be reasonably fine
Reasonably fine, at least to beat my drums in time
Suddenly I've realised
That I won't be here when I die
And life upon this plain is somehow fleeting
Time and all it's precious wine
Is somehow primed to make us whine
And fret even then when we should be sleeping
But you're the same as you and I'm the same as me
And hopefully we can find ways to let us be reasonably fine,
Reasonably fine, at least to play my pretty chimes
Empty cries and hollow toots
And all the signs that have no use
And fingers point accusingly are sinning
Humourless hypocrisy
And all the crimes we didn't see
The sigh that knows the devil might be winning
But you're the same as you and I'm the same as me
And hopefully we can find ways to let us be reasonably fine,
Reasonably fine, at least to let my music shine
And maybe it's the greatest test
A man's surrounded by his death
But reaches out and tastes the sweetest honey
That's how you make me feel
I love you more than death is real
It's sad but in the end it might be funny
That you're the same as you and I'm the same as me
And hopefully we can find ways to let us be reasonably fine,
Reasonably fine, at least to leave an open mind
