Jackson Browne
Image
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

Jackson Browne
Image
I want to know what became of the changes we waited for love to bring/Were they only the fitful dreams of some greater awakening?
Jackson Browne
Image
When you turn out the light, I've got to hand it to me. Looks like it's you and me again tonight Rosie.
Jackson Browne
Image
But when you know that you've got a real friend somewhere, suddenly all the others are so much easier to bear.
Jackson Browne
Image
Out into the cool of the evening strolls the pretender. He knows that all his hopes and dreams begin and end there.
Jackson Browne
Image
Take it easy, take it easyDon't let the sound of your own wheelsDrive you crazy.
Jackson Browne
Image
Hunger in the midnight, hunger at the stroke of noon Hunger in the banquet, hunger in the bride and groom Hunger on the TV, hunger on the printed page And there's a God-sized hunger underneath the questions of the age
Jackson Browne
Image
You've had to struggle, you've had to fight To keep understanding and compassion in sight You could be laughing at me, you've got the right But you go on smiling so clear and so bright
Jackson Browne
Image
Where the search for the truth is conducted with a wink and a nod And where power and position are equated with the grace of God These times are famine for the soul while for the senses it's a feast From the edge of my country, as far as you see, looking east

Lighten up while you still can, don't even try to understand. Just find a place to make your stand, and take it easy.
