Never Stop
There are times when I see you, Baby Looking back the way we came Through some hard places, choices we made You never held me to blame But you had some dreams when you were a girl Some ideas about the world And you see how some things will never be the same (And how some things never change) And I remember how you helped me, Baby And all the times you had my back And how you wrapped me in your sweetness And held my eyes with your eyes When my train was off the track Now I've got some things that I want to do And I want to do them with you If you'll just stand by me, and don't look back And never stop coming up with all of that love for me Never stop coming with your faith in what a love can be Never stop coming up with all of that lovev Keep on rising above And never stop coming up on the world love wants to see And the world has been showing you how It's no place for your tender heart now In a world that keeps turning you down Only the heart knows where the strength can be found Never stop coming up with all of that love for me Never stop coming with your faith in what a love can be Never stop coming up with all of that love Keep on rising above And never stop coming up on the world love wants to see .. .. Remember when you look into my eyes I'm the one who took you by surprise The time has come and gone and come back 'round again And I'm still here to take you by surprise my friend Show me your eyes, tell me again Where you want to go Now the night is glowing beneath your skin And when you smile I'm the richest man I know ............................................. Lyrics by Jackson Browne Music by Jackson Browne, Kevin McCormick, Mark Goldenberg, Mauricio Lewak, Jeff Young |

I used to lay out in a field under the Milky Way
With everything that I was feeling that I could not say With every doubt and every sorrow that was in my way Tearing around inside my head like it was there to stay Night in my eyes, the night inside me There where the shadows and the night could hide me Night in my eyes Sky full of stars turning over me Waiting for night to set me free I caught a ride into the city every chance I got I wasn't sure there was a name for the life I sought Now I'm a long way gone down the life I got I don't know how I believed some of the things I thought Night in my eyes, the night inside me Here where the shadows gather to decide me Night in my eyes Out at the end of light and gravity Waiting for night It takes the night to clear all of this mess away The obligation, the burden and the light of day It takes the night to fall between the world I obey And a world where I hear angels play Maybe I should go back to Spain I walk around inside the questions of my day I navigate the inner reaches of my disarray I pass the altars where fools and thieves hold sway I wait for night to come and lift this dread away Night in my eyes, the night inside me Here where the shadows and the light divide me Night in my eyes Night full of promise and uncertainty Waiting for night to set me free |

You used to stand on the tables
You used to shoot out the lights You used to stop trucks on I-19 In your blue leopard tights You got the vote of your high school Most likely to exceed But not likely to ever get enough Enough of what you need Enough of the night Enough of the night And now the carnival lights come down The sounds of laughter receed You sit and drink in this cardboard town The fast lane gone to seed You used to laugh about the damage done But there was no way to know How little distance you had actually come And how far you'd have to go It's tough to do baby It's tough to make it When the heart is naked It's tough for you baby It's tough for me too Without all this pain to see through Now I want to see you smile You know how It's just been awhile Don't allow Another night to close on your empty cup You've had enough of those Enough of the night Enough of the night You used to count on the miracles The old shot in the dark You used to wait for the setting sun To help you hit your mark You used to stand on the tables You used to shoot out the lights You dressed right out of the fables Like the Arabian Nights But you were never the princess More like the queen of the thieves And my heart was never more than one of the many A queen receives It's tough to do baby It's tough to make it When the heart is naked It's tough for you baby it's tough for me too Without this disdain to see through Now I want to see you smile You know how It's just been awhile Don't allow Another heart to pass beyond your reach Say "Baby not so fast" You've had enough of the night To fill the street with tears You've had enough of those empty hours To last a thousand years Enough of the night Enough of the tears |

The papers lie there helplessly
In a pile outside the door I've tried and tried, but I just can't remember what they're for The world outside is tugging like a beggar at my sleeve Oh, that's much too old a story to believe And you know that it's taken its share of me Even though you take such good care of me Now you say "Morocco" and that makes me smile I haven't seen Morocco in a long, long while The dreams are rolling down across the places in my mind And I've just had a taste of something fine The future hides and the past just slides England lies between Floating in a silver mist so cold and so clean California's shaking like an angry child will Who has asked for love and is unanswered still And you know that I'm looking back carefully OCause I know that there's still something there for me But you said "Morocco" and you made me smile And it hasn't been that easy for a long, long while And looking back into your eyes I saw them really shine Giving me a taste of something fine Something fine Now if you see Morocco I know you'll go in style I may not see Morocco for a little while But while you're there I was hoping you might keep it in your mind To save me just a taste of something fine |

In the calling out to one another
Of the lovers up and down the strand In the sound of the waves and the cries Of the seagulls circling the sand In the fragments of the songs Carried down the wind from some radio In the murmuring of the city in the distance Ominous and low I hear the sound of the world where we played And the far too simple beauty Of the promises we made If you ever need holding Call my name, I'll be there If you ever need holding And no holding back, I'll see you through Sky blue and black Where the touch of the lover ends And the soul of the friend begins There's a need to be separate and a need to be one And a struggle neither wins Where you gave me the world I was in And a place I could make a stand I could never see how you doubted me When I'd let go of your hand Yeah, and I was much younger then And I must have thought that I would know If things were going to end And the heavens were rolling Like a wheel on a track And our sky was unfolding And it'll never fold back Sky blue and black And I'd have fought the world for you If I thought that you wanted me to Or put aside what was true or untrue If I'd known that's what you needed What you needed me to do But the moment has passed by me now To have put away my pride And just come through for you somehow If you ever need holding Call my name, I'll be there If you ever need holding And no holding back, I'll see you through You're the color of the sky Reflected in each store-front window pane You're the whispering and the sighing Of my tires in the rain You're the hidden cost and the thing that's lost In everything I do Yeah and I'll never stop looking for you In the sunlight and the shadows And the faces on the avenue That's the way love is That's the way love is That's the way love is Sky blue and black |

It was a ruby that she wore
On a chain around her neck In the shape of a heart In the shape of a heart It was a time I won't forget For the sorrow and regret And the shape of a heart And the shape of a heart I guess I never knew What she was talking about I guess I never knew What she was living without People speak of love don't know what they're thinking of Wait around for the one who fits just like a glove Speak in terms of belief and belonging Try to fit some name to their longing People speak of love There was a hole left in the wall From some ancient fight About the size of a fist Or something thrown that had missed And there were other holes as well In the house where our nights fell Far to many to repair In the time that we were there People speak of love don't know what they're thinking of Reach out to each other through the push and shove Speak in terms of a life and the learning Try to think of a word for the burning You keep it up You try so hard To keep a life from coming apart And never know What breaches and faults are concealed In the shape of a heart In the shape of a heart In the shape of a heart It was the ruby that she wore On a stand beside the bed In the hour before dawn When I knew she was gone And I held it in my hand For a little while Dropped it into the wall I let it go and heard it fall I guess I never knew What she was talking about I guess I never knew What she was living without People speak of love don't know what they're thinking of Wait around for the one who fits just like a glove Speak in terms of a life and the living Try to find the word for forgiving You keep it up You try so hard To keep a life from coming apart And never know The shallows and the unseen reef That are there from the start In the shape of a heart |

I want to live in the world, not inside my head
I want to live in the world, I want to stand and be counted With the hopeful and the willing With the open and the strong With the voices in the darkness Fashioning daylight out of song And the millions of lovers Alive in the world I want to live in the world, not behind some wall I want to live in the world, where I will hear if another voice should call To the prisoner inside me To the captive of my doubt Who among his fantasies harbors the dream of breaking out And taking his chances Alive in the world To open my eyes and wake up alive in the world To open my eyes and fully arrive in the world With its beauty and its cruelty With its heartbreak and its joy With it constantly giving birth to life and to forces that destroy And the infinite power of change Alive in the world To open my eyes and wake up alive in the world To open my eyes and fully arrive in the world To open my eyes and wake up alive in the world To open my eyes and fully arrive in the world |

Casino Nation
In a weapons producing nation under Jesus In the fabled crucible of the free world Camera crews search for clues amid the detritus And entertainment shapes the land The way the hammer shapes the hand Gleaming faces in the checkout counter at the Church of Fame The lucky winners cheer Casino Nation All those not on TV only have themselves to blame And don't quite seem to understand The way the hammer shapes the hand Out beyond the ethernet the spectrum spreads DC to daylight, the cowboy mogul rides Never worry where the gold for all this glory's gonna come from Get along dogies, it's coming out of your hides .. The intentional cultivation of a criminal class The future lit by brightly burning bridges Justice fully clothed to hide the heart of glass That shatters in a thousand Ruby Ridges And everywhere the good prepare for perpetual war And let their weapons shape the plan The way the hammer shapes the hand The way the hammer shapes the hand ...................................

All good things got to come to an end
The thrills have to fade Before they come 'round again The bills will be paid And the pleasure will mend All good things got to come to an end God I wish I was home Laying 'round with my friends The call of the wild Caution thrown to the wind The fall of the child Where the longing begins All good things got to come to an end Like a river flows Rolling 'till it ends in the sea Our pleasure grows Rolling 'till it ends in you and me Now as the dark gathers into the sky And legions of might go thundering by Regions of light grow dim and then die And we with our wings Wait for morning to fly Like a river flows Rolling 'till it ends in the sea Our pleasure grows Rolling 'till it ends in you and me Rolling 'till it ends in you and me Here where the angels Have appeared and are gone Your face like an ember Glows in the dawn But I want you to remember All wild deeds live on All good times, all good friends All good things got to come to an end The thrills have to fade Before they come 'round again The bills will be paid And the pleasure will mend All good things got to come to an end All good times, all good friends All good things got to come to an end |

Pretty little one
How has it all begun? They're teaching you how to walk But you're already on the run Little one-- What you gonna do? Little one-- Honey, it's all up to you Now your daddy's in the den shootin' up the evening news Mama's with a friend, lately she's been so confused Little one-- Come on and take my hand I may not have the answer but I believe I got a plan Honey you shake and I'll rattle and we'll roll on down the line And see if we can't get in touch with a very close friend of mine But let me clue you in, it ain't like him To argue or pretend-- Honey let me introduce you to my redneck friend Well they've got a little list of all those things of which they don't approve They've got to keep their eyes on you or you might make your move Little one-- I really wish you would Little one-- I think the damage would do you good Honey you shake and I'll rattle and we'll roll on down the line We're going to forget all about the battle It's gonna feel so fine 'Cause he's the missing link, the kitchen sink-- Eleven on a scale of ten Honey let me introduce you to my redneck friend Honey you shake and I'll rattle and we'll roll on down the line I'm going to try to swing you up into my saddle And then we'll run but you'll think we're flyin' Now honey don't just stand there Lookin' like this dream will never end Honey let me introduce you to my redneck friend |

My Stunning Mystery Companion
What with all my expectations long abandoned And a future I no longer saw my hand in How I found you is beyond my understanding My stunning mystery companion I know that you don't want to be Out here forever on this road Or live among the boxes Where all my past lives have been stowed Maybe you're thinking of someplace With a garden by the sea Where we could slow down And you could put a little more work in on me What with all my expectations long abandoned My solitary nature notwithstanding You're the one who pulled me Out of that crash landing My stunning mystery companion .. Right now I can't quite remember The cause of all my tears I hear you laughing and somehow The past just disappears Maybe you were joking when you said You'd take me for ten years and no more Maybe you've had the best of me But you could take another ten years and be sure What with all my expectations long abandoned And a life that just gets more and more demanding There's no doubt that you're the reason I'm still standing My stunning mystery companion ... (Words and Music By Jackson Browne) |
