Jackson Browne

Jackson Browne
In the end, they traded their tired wings for the resignation that living brings. And exchanged love's bright and fragile glow for the glitter and the rouge, and in the moment they were swept before the deluge.
Jackson Browne
We may lose and we may win, but we will never be here again.
Jackson Browne
Now if I seem to be afraidTo live the life that I have made in songWell it's just that I've been losing so long.
Jackson Browne
