A Man For All Seasons - Al Stewart[00:00:00]

What if you reached the age of reason[00:00:23]

Only to find there was no reprieve [00:00:28]

Would you still be a man for all seasons[00:00:32]

Or would you just have to leave [00:00:37]

We measure our days out in steps of uncertainty[00:00:41]

Not turning to see how we've come[00:00:46]

And peer down my highway from here to eternity[00:00:50]

And reach out for love on the run[00:00:55]

While the man for all seasons is lost behind the sun[00:01:00]

Henry Plantagenet still looks for someone[00:01:24]

To bring good news in his hour of doubt[00:01:28]

While Thomas More waits in the Tower of London[00:01:32]

Watching the sands running out[00:01:37]

And measures the hours out from here to oblivion[00:01:41]

In actions that can't be undone[00:01:46]

A sailor through darkness he scans the meridian[00:01:51]

And caught by the first rays of dawn[00:01:55]

The man for all seasons is lost beneath the storm[00:02:00]

And I should know by now I should know by now[00:02:13]

I hear them call it out all around[00:02:20]

Oh they go ah there's nothing to believe in[00:02:27]

Hear them ah just daydreams deceiving[00:02:37]

They'll just let you down[00:02:47]

So what if you reached the age of reason[00:04:02]

Only to find there was no reprieve [00:04:07]

Would you still be a man for all seasons [00:04:11]

Or would you just disbelieve [00:04:16]

We measure our gains out in luck and coincidence[00:04:20]

Lanterns to turn back the night[00:04:25]

And put our defeats down to chance or experience[00:04:29]

And try once again for the light[00:04:34]

Some wait for the waters of fortune to cover them[00:04:38]

Some just see the tides of ill chance rushing over them[00:04:43]

Some call on Jehovah some cry out to Allah[00:04:47]

Some wait for the boats that still row to Valhalla[00:04:52]

While you try to accept what fates are unfolding[00:04:57]

While some say they're sure where the blame should be falling[00:05:01]

You look 'round for maybe a chance of forestalling[00:05:06]

But too soon it's over and done[00:05:10]

And the man for all seasons is lost behind the sun[00:05:15]
