lyrics

Barry reached fifty
Never thought that
Time would
Catch up like that

The ledger of life
Doesn’t lie
Time you’ve left
Before you die

Barry wakes up
In the middle of the night
Heart is pumping
A terrible fright

Since Anne left him
There’s no-one there
To hear his cries
To tell he’s scared

If you never had a dream
Would you soon lose all hope?
If you knew how the years would go
Would you drown or grab a rope?

If you never had a dream
Would you soon lose all hope?
If you knew how the years might go
Would you drown or grab a rope?

Thinking all about
His kids
Adds up to nothing
The good he did

He’s just a name
On a Tesco Card
He never tried
Now he tries too hard

Barry seeks something
In his life
There must be more
Than the constant fight

Seems you blink
And its gone too fast
Cleaning the gutter
Of the leaves of your past

If you never had a dream
Would you soon lose all hope?
If you knew how the years would go
Would you drown or grab a rope?

If you never had a dream
Would you soon lose all hope?
If you knew how the years would go
Would you drown or grab a rope?

Reasons
There are reasons
Reasons
There are reasons
Reasons
There are reasons
Reasons
There are reasons

Barry remembers
Fishing nights
Waiting to catch
A simple bite

Barry recalls
The sun coming up
The paper in flames
The crack in the cup

Reasons
There are reasons
