Jackson Browne - Farther On Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • In my early years I hid my tears
  • And passed my days alone
  • Adrift on an ocean of loneliness
  • My dreams like nets were thrown
  • To catch the love that Id heard of
  • In books and films and songs
  • Now theres a world of illusion and fantasy
  • In the place where the real world belongs
  • Still I look for the beauty in songs
  • To fill my head and lead me on
  • Though my dreams have come up torn and empty
  • As many times as love has come and gone
  • To those gentle ones my memory runs
  • To the laughter we shared at the meals
  • I filled their kitchens and living rooms
  • With my schemes and my broken wheels
  • It was never clear how far or near
  • The gates to my citadel lay
  • They were cutting from stone some dreams of their own
  • But they listened to mine anyway
  • Im not sure what Im trying to say
  • It could be Ive lost my way
  • Though I keep a watch over the distance
  • Heavens no closer than it was yesterday
  • And the angels are older
  • They know not to wait up for the sun
  • They look over my shoulder
  • At the maps and the drawings of the journey Ive begun
  • Now the distance leads me farther on
  • Though the reasons I once had are gone
  • I keep thinking Ill find what Im looking for
  • In the sand beneath the dawn
  • But the angels are older
  • They can see that the suns setting fast
  • They look over my shoulder
  • At the vision of paradise contained in the light of the past
  • And they lay down behind me
  • To sleep beside the road till the morning has come
  • Where they know they will find me
  • With my maps and my faith in the distance
  • Moving farther on
