Song For Adam (LP Version)-Jackson Browne

[00:24.81]Though Adam was a friend of mine, [00:28.15]I did not know him well [00:30.98]He was alone into his distance [00:34.46]He was deep into his well [00:39.48]I could guess what he was laughing at, [00:42.89]But I couldn't really tell [00:46.30]Now the story's told that Adam jumped, [00:49.76]But I've been thinking that he fell [00:58.65]Together we went traveling, [01:01.87]As we received the call [01:04.77]His destination India, [01:08.38]And I had none at all [01:13.00]Well, I still remember laughing [01:16.42]With our backs against the wall [01:19.73]So free of fear, we never thought [01:23.53]That one of us might fall [01:27.99]I sit before my only candle, [01:33.92]But it's so little light to find my way [01:39.95]Now this story unfolds before my candle [01:47.12]Which is shorter every hour [01:49.98]As it reaches for the day [01:54.10]But I feel just like a candle in the way [01:59.76]I guess I'll get there, but [02:03.98]I wouldn't say for sure [02:21.69]When we parted we were laughing still, [02:25.00]As our goodbyes were said [02:27.91]And I never heard from him again [02:31.47]As each our lives we led [02:36.45]Except for once in someone else's [02:40.06]Letter that I read [02:43.37]Until I heard the sudden word [02:46.73]That a friend of mine was dead [02:52.01]I sit before my only candle, [02:57.89]Like a pilgrim sits beside the way [03:03.56]Now this journey appears before my candle [03:10.33]As a song that's growing fainter [03:14.14]The harder that I play [03:17.16]But I fear before I end I'll fade away [03:22.57]But I guess I'll get there, [03:26.98]Though I wouldn't say for sure [03:44.55]Though Adam was a friend of mine, [03:47.61]I did not know him long [03:50.82]And when I stood myself beside him, [03:54.23]I never though I was as strong [03:59.30]Still it seems he stopped his singing [04:02.62]In the middle of his song [04:05.78]Well I'm not the one to say I know, [04:09.50]But I'm hoping he was wrong [04:14.17]I'm holding out my only candle, [04:20.18]Though it's so little light to find my way [04:26.49]Now this story's been laid beneath my candle [04:33.66]And it's shorter every hour [04:36.87]As it reaches for the day [04:40.18]Yes, I feel just like a candle in the way [04:45.90]I hope I'll get there, [04:50.21]But I never pray
