Текст песни Jackson Browne - Farther On
Jackson Browne - Farther On слова песни
In my early years I hid my tearsAnd passed my days aloneAdrift on an ocean of lonelinessMy dreams like nets were thrownTo catch the love that Id heard ofIn books and films and songsNow theres a world of illusion and fantasyIn the place where the real world belongsStill I look for the beauty in songsTo fill my head and lead me onThough my dreams have come up torn and emptyAs many times as love has come and goneTo those gentle ones my memory runsTo the laughter we shared at the mealsI filled their kitchens and living roomsWith my schemes and my broken wheelsIt was never clear how far or nearThe gates to my citadel layThey were cutting from stone some dreams of their ownBut they listened to mine anywayIm not sure what Im trying to sayIt could be Ive lost my wayThough I keep a watch over the distanceHeavens no closer than it was yesterdayAnd the angels are olderThey know not to wait up for the sunThey look over my shoulderAt the maps and the drawings of the journey Ive begunNow the distance leads me farther onThough the reasons I once had are goneI keep thinking Ill find what Im looking forIn the sand beneath the dawnBut the angels are olderThey can see that the suns setting fastThey look over my shoulderAt the vision of paradise contained in the light of the pastAnd they lay down behind meTo sleep beside the road till the morning has comeWhere they know they will find meWith my maps and my faith in the distanceMoving farther on
