Measure by Measure (Live from The Old Chapel)

from Live from The Old Chapel by Fast Trains

/

lyrics

Six of one, half a dozen of the other
It adds up to the same
A late call from your sister or your brother
Just treat it fun like a game

Step-by-step let it climb to your heart
With all manner of speed
Take a breath, don't return to the start
These doubts are traitors you see

It's all measure by measure

Work hard and stay patient with your lover
And never moan if you're free
Remain calm for the best of one another
Don't leap this balancing beam

When you're met with the green grass of your neighbour
And your jealousy screams
Never fret, find the things in life to savour
A gradual stitch of the seams

It's all measure by measure

Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall

It's all measure by measure
