IF THERE'S A REASON
(Gordon Lightfoot)

As recorded Gordon Lightfoot 1978


If you should need me deep in the night
My arms will open in shades of twilight 
If there's a reason for livin' without me
Just let me know and I'll move on.

Down to the station
With the big wheels burnin'
Gonna get me my ticket
To play out that role which I've been given.

Home is where the heart is
But at times a good home must be broken
The wine has grown bitter
From these harsh words we have spoken.

If there's a chance for someone else
To make you feel life is worth livin'
Give it a try oh lady
Just let me know and I'll go on livin'.

(bridge)

Home is where the heart is
But at times a good home must be broken
The wine has grown bitter
From these harsh words we have spoken.

If you should need me deep in the night
At shades of twilight
If there's a reason for livin' without me
Just let me know and I'll go on livin'.
