What if you reached the age of reason
Only to find there was no reprieve
Would you still be a man for all seasons?
Or would you just have to leave
We measure our days out
In steps of uncertainty
Not turning to see how we've come
And peer down the highway
From here to eternity
And reach out for love on the run
While the man for all seasons
Is lost behind the sun

Henry Plantagenet still looks for someone
To bring good news in his hour of doubt
While Thomas More waits in the Tower of London
Watching the sands running out
And measures the hours out
From here to oblivion
In actions that can't be undone
A sailor through the darkness
He scans the meridian
And caught by the first rays of dawn
The man for all seasons
Is lost beneath the storm

And I should know by now
I should know by now
I hear them call it out all around
Oh, they go
There's nothing to believe in
Hear them,
Just daydreams, deceiving
They'll just let you down

What if you reached the age of reason
Only to find there was no reprieve
Would you still be a man for all seasons?
Or would you just disbelieve?

We measure our gains out in luck and coincidence
Lanterns to turn back the night
And put our defeats down to chance or experience
And try once again for the light
Some wait for the waters of fortune to cover them
Some just see the tides of ill chance running over them

Some call on Jehovah
Some cry out to Allah
Some wait for the boats that still row to Valhallah
Well, you should try to accept what the fates are unfolding
While some say they're sure where the blame should be falling
You look round for maybe a chance of forestalling
Bot too soon its over and done
And the man for all seasons
Is lost behind the sun




Mirror lyrics:



Is lost behind the sun
And the man for all seasons
Bot too soon its over and done
You look round for maybe a chance of forestalling
While some say they're sure where the blame should be falling
Well, you should try to accept what the fates are unfolding
Some wait for the boats that still row to Valhallah
Some cry out to Allah
Some call on Jehovah

Some just see the tides of ill chance running over them
Some wait for the waters of fortune to cover them
And try once again for the light
And put our defeats down to chance or experience
Lanterns to turn back the night
We measure our gains out in luck and coincidence

Or would you just disbelieve?
Would you still be a man for all seasons?
Only to find there was no reprieve
What if you reached the age of reason

They'll just let you down
Just daydreams, deceiving
Hear them,
There's nothing to believe in
Oh, they go
I hear them call it out all around
I should know by now
And I should know by now

Is lost beneath the storm
The man for all seasons
And caught by the first rays of dawn
He scans the meridian
A sailor through the darkness
In actions that can't be undone
From here to oblivion
And measures the hours out
Watching the sands running out
While Thomas More waits in the Tower of London
To bring good news in his hour of doubt
Henry Plantagenet still looks for someone

Is lost behind the sun
While the man for all seasons
And reach out for love on the run
From here to eternity
And peer down the highway
Not turning to see how we've come
In steps of uncertainty
We measure our days out
Or would you just have to leave
Would you still be a man for all seasons?
Only to find there was no reprieve
What if you reached the age of reason
