Jackson Browne - From Silver Lake Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Did you see our brother
  • He was here the other day
  • But he only came to say that he was leaving
  • Did you see his lady
  • She was looking where hed gone
  • But she wasnt letting on that she was grieving
  • Shes bound to go
  • Perhaps shell find him waiting for his boat in some city far away
  • Shes bound to go
  • Lately I remember afternoons of smoke and wine
  • There was nothing we could find but peace and pleasure
  • And with a smile he told me
  • That he wanted just to be on his way across the sea no man can measure
  • He wont be back,
  • And the sun may find him sleeping in the dust of some ruin far away
  • He wont be back
  • Early today as I watched while the skyline was shaking
  • I heard a rumbling
  • Early today the mechanical city was waking
  • And I ran out stumbling, mumbling
  • Out through the laughter of children and dogs
  • Did you see our brother
  • He was here the other day
  • But he only came to say that he cant breathe here
  • Did you see his lady
  • She was reaching for his hand
  • Just as if to tell her man that she cant either
  • Theyre bound to go
  • And the sun may find me running after them, seeing something far away
  • We wont be back
  • ...counter song at the end of from silver lake
  • .....someone who had been away
  • .....suddenly came back today
  • .....and I allowed him home today into my mind
  • .....for a moment face to face
  • .....evil packed upon the place
  • .....long ago he meant to stay out there this time
  • .....oh, what do you know
  • .....the love that Ive been feeling
  • .....the past is healing so slow
  • .....by tomorrow, gone from sorrow.
  • Please note the the lyrics to the counter song came from two very reliable sources... however, a fan who asked jackson browne for these lyrics was lucky enough to get jackson to writ
  • N the way he remembered the words and jackson came up with the following:
  • Someone who had been away, suddenly came back today.
  • I allowed a hope to stray into my mind.
  • For the moment face to face, we looked back upon the place
  • Where today we went to chase our careless time.
  • Oh, what did we know, not what Ive been feeling, the past is healing so slowly.
  • My tomorrow. gone from sorrow.
