The Late Show (LP Version)-Jackson Browne

[00:01.56]Everyone I've ever known has wished me well [00:07.90] Anyway, that's how it seems, it's hard to tell [00:14.58] Maybe people only ask you how you're doing [00:19.16] 'Cause that's easier than letting on how little they could care [00:29.42] But when you know that you've got a real friend somewhere [00:36.04] Suddenly all the others are so much easier to bear [00:41.87] Now to see things clear it's hard enough, I know [00:48.71] While you're waiting for reality to show [00:55.29] Without dreamin' of the perfect love [00:58.85] And holding it so far above [01:02.12] That if you stumbled onto someone real, you'd never know [01:07.95] (You'd never know) [01:10.51] You could be with somebody who is lonely too [01:13.62] (Sometimes it doesn't show) [01:16.99] He might be trying to get across to you [01:20.86] (Words can be so slow) [01:23.18] When your own emptiness is all that's gettin' through [01:28.20] There comes a point when you're not sure why you're still talking [01:33.91] I passed that point long ago [01:38.49] (Long ago) [01:43.26] I'm so tired of all this circling [01:49.29] And all these glimpses of the end [01:52.91] (You know it's useless to pretend) [01:56.17] That's all the voices say, you'll go right on circling [02:03.06] Until you've found some kind of friend [02:08.47] Well, I saw you through the laughter and the noise [02:15.26] You were talking with the soldiers and the boys [02:22.04] While they scuffled for your weary smiles [02:25.40] I thought of all the empty miles [02:28.63] And the years that I've spent looking for your eyes [02:34.05] (Looking for your eyes) [02:36.20] Now I'm sitting here wondering what to say [02:40.32] (That you might recognize) [02:42.74] Afraid that all these words might scare you away [02:47.26] (To break through the disguise) [02:49.22] No one ever talks about their feelings anyway [02:54.75] Without dressing them in dreams and laughter [02:59.06] I guess it's just too painful otherwise [03:33.49] Look, it's like you're standing in the window [03:38.48] Of a house nobody lives in [03:41.94] And I'm sitting in a car across the way [03:47.58] (Let's just say) [03:49.44] It's an early model Chevrolet [03:53.76] (Let's just say) [03:56.57] It's a warm and windy day [04:02.41] You go and pack your sorrow [04:05.02] The trash man comes tomorrow [04:08.29] Leave it at the kerb and we'll just roll away
