Reasonably Fine

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 olderSubway eyes and banked up skies
And violent towns and frozen pies
And all them football crowds who lost are cold nowBut 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 timeSuddenly I've realised
That I won't be here when I die
And life upon this plain is somehow fleetingTime and all it's precious wine
Is somehow primed to make us whine
And fret even then when we should be sleepingBut 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 chimesEmpty cries and hollow toots
And all the signs that have no use
And fingers point accusingly are sinningHumourless hypocrisy
And all the crimes we didn't see
The sigh that knows the devil might be winningBut 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 shineAnd maybe it's the greatest test
A man's surrounded by his death
But reaches out and tastes the sweetest honeyThat's how you make me feel
I love you more than death is real
It's sad but in the end it might be funnyThat 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
