Bryan Ferry - 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
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
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, no presence of mind
Just a dance to the music of time

Buy on ferry
I just found this on TikTok
I can imagine this song in a Woody Allen´s movie...
Bryan, keep cry and dont die, U need us
One more thing that makes my life so wonderfull. Thank you Bryan.
A singer charming unfortunately little known. Pity
such a sensitive song! 💙
This is perfect. The perfect musical distillation that allows for the poignancy of these lyrics. My heart strings are breaking. The Bryan Ferry Orchestra and what Bryan Ferry is doing now is just so utterly beautiful. From the first minute of Roxy up to this very minute everything is fantastic but somehow this album is the most beautiful. We have grown up with him and now this feels so intimate. The perfect touch. He has made a perfect harmony with this album. How generous he has been sharing all his brilliance with us. How lucky we are.
Bryan , toujours la grande classe , si notre société actuelle pouvait etre a ton image ...........
Sperb album by one of the all time greats - great concert in Kings Park (Perth Australia) last Thursday

@Erblin.123 Erblin 😞
Excellent love this version ....wonderful new album <3<3<3<3
Fantastic version of my favorite song
In fact this is THIS, with a bit higher tempo and without a background vocal...

I can't imagine what kind of oxygen thief, waste of space would bother to give a "thumbs down" to any artistry produced by this man. An act worthy of their insignificance & ignorance. Philistines.
Wankers!
You have a problem x
In what respect?
Ta ta! Those plebeians have not an ear for our refined tastes, all correct, gentlemen? (hmph)
Spot on. Ha!
Gran versión de una de mis favoritas del gran Ferry
TFS! Bryan your brilliant! Lovely simply lovely!
Ich bin begeistert von dieser Version.
His voice is self paradoic makes me laugh this Kurt Wiel version .
Kurt Weill
Glorious. I actually prefer this to the overworked original. This is the song's real beauty, stripped away of everything unneeded.
Likewise, the jazz approach must be his "hidden" talent! Wow.
Merci ! Quelle finesse, quelle classe !
soFine!..
thank you Bryan! please bring the band back to San Francisco!
