A Reasonable Man Lyrics - Cherry Tree - The National

I don't mind losing a girl to herself 

A quiet love is better than none 

And I don't mind losing a friend to a friend 

If only to be a reasonable man 

And I don't mind waiting if it's for the best 

A careful heart is better than none 

I don't mind painting my back with the past 

Pictures in resolute pain 

Smoothing the laugh o'er the lane

But if it happens to you 

The same kind of deal 

I recommend fire 

Instead of the fool 

I don't mind shaking your hand at the door 

If only to be a resolute man (Pictures in resolute pain) 

If only to be a resolute man 

If only to be a resolute man 

But if it happens to you 

The same kind of deal 

I recommend fire 

Instead of the fool

If only to be a resolute man 

If only to be a resolute man 

If only to be a reasonable man 

If only to be a reasonable man
