Jackson Browne - Song For Adam Lyrics
Though adam was a friend of mine, I did not know him wellHe was alone into his distanceHe was deep into his wellI could guess what he was laughing at, but I couldnt really tellNow the storys told that adam jumped, but Ive been thinking that he fellTogether we went traveling, as we received the callHis destination india, and I had none at allWell, I still remember laughing with our backs against the wallSo free of fear, we never thought that one of us might fallI sit before my only candle, but its so little light to find my wayNow this story unfolds before my candleWhich is shorter every hour as it reaches for the dayBut I feel just like a candle in the wayI guess Ill get there, but I wouldnt say for sureWhen we parted we were laughing still, as our goodbyes were saidAnd I never heard from him again as each our lives we ledExcept for once in someone elses letter that I readUntil I heard the sudden word that a friend of mine was deadI sit before my only candle, like a pilgrim sits beside the wayNow this journey appears before my candleAs a song thats growing fainter the harder that I playBut I fear before I end Ill fade awayBut I guess Ill get there, though I wouldnt say for sureThough adam was a friend of mine, I did not know him longAnd when I stood myself beside him, I never though I was as strongStill it seems he stopped his singing in the middle of his songWell Im not the one to say I know, but Im hoping he was wrongIm holding out my only candle, though its so little light to find my wayNow this storys been laid beneath my candleAnd its shorter every hour as it reaches for the dayYes, I feel just like a candle in the wayI hope Ill get there, but I never pray
