I went in search of a
Reasonable man
The one I read about in books
And I drew me up a plan I said "I'd like to meet him on a corner if I can"
And then we could take either road
depending upon where we stand I went in search of a
Reasonable man
And I thought "Ooh it must be lonely
to be the only voice of reason"
the sky went so rosy
now I hear a rumbling sound meaning byjonesy this is probably my favourite of all her songs. Its so underplayed and elegaic reminds me of cowboy junkies in its wisdom. For m its about putting yourself out… See all In silence drinking coffee
for a reasonable time
he said "you're looking pretty"
and I said "you're looking at your prime" contender for the future
will you be mine
but his straight-laced face
it all folded up
and he took that "it's not so simple" line I went in search of a
Reasonable man
And I thought "Ooh it must be lonely
to be the only voice of reason"
the sky went so rosy
now my world is crumbling down we need more reasonable men and I said oooh you're selling us short
reasonable man and I said ooh where's your heart, reasonable man
cause when I look on that star
will you go reasonable man
when the going gets tough
will you go reasonable man
and when the going gets tough
will you go reasonable man
