Jackson Browne - Of Missing Persons Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Your father was a rounder
  • He played that rock and roll
  • A leaper and a bounder
  • Down to his gypsy soul
  • The music was his angel
  • And sorrow was his star
  • And those of us who follow
  • Might hope to reach as far
  • Theyre walking slow in houston
  • Speechless in d.c.
  • Theres no way I could tell you
  • What he meant to me
  • Your mothers a survivor
  • Shell do what must be done
  • Her children will revive her
  • And help her see the sun
  • She almost knew that unison
  • But the singing stopped too soon
  • Now she shares the silence
  • With a man up in the moon
  • To speak of missing persons
  • Tonight theres only one
  • And we all carry with us what the mans begun
  • And you can sing this song
  • On july the fourth
  • In the sunny south and the frozen north
  • Its a day of loss, its your day of birth
  • Does it take a death to learn what a life is worth?
  • Your brothers are all older
  • And theyll take it in their stride
  • The worlds a little colder
  • But manhoods on their side
  • Now youre the little girl-child
  • And you look so much like him
  • And hes right there inside you
  • Each time you want to sing
  • Sing of missing persons
  • Tonight theres only one
  • But hes where you can find him when its said and done
  • And we will sing this song
  • On july the fourth
  • From the sunny south and the frozen north
  • This will always be your day of birth
  • May you always see what your life is worth
