Chorus 

Pleasure and pain is like profit and gain

Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose

Be kind to yourself when you're tired of yourself

Don't go mixing the reds along with the blues 

The coach that I ride has a horseman who's tired

The reins to his hands they are tied

The one to alight, if he's lucky, he might

Learn to slow down and drift with the tide



(Chorus)



It's ever so low when there's nowhere to go

And your spirit lies close to the ground

Take a long look behind, I'm sure you'll find

A friend there who'll help pull you round



(Chorus)



You have to agree, it's not easy to see

A sheep underneath all that fleece

If you'll take my advice, stick with people you like

It's a big world, you're only one piece



(Chorus)
