Testo Pleasure Pain Sandy Denny
Chorus
Pleasure and pain is like profit and gain
Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose
Be kind to yourself when youâre tired of yourself
Donât go mixing the reds along with the blues
The coach that I ride has a horseman whoâs tired
The reins to his hands they are tied
The one to alight, if heâs lucky, he might
Learn to slow down and drift with the tide
(chorus)
Itâs ever so low when thereâs nowhere to go
And your spirit lies close to the ground
Take a long look behind, Iâm sure youâll find
A friend there whoâll help pull you round
(chorus)
You have to agree, itâs not easy to see
A sheep underneath all that fleece
If youâll take my advice, stick with people you like
Itâs a big world, youâre only one piece
(chorus)
