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
Image
Also, right at that particular time in the music business, because of people like the Beatles, people began owning their own publishing. I'll just say this really quickly - they used to divide the money for the music that was written in two, just equal halves.

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
Rock me on the water Sister will you soothe my fevered brow Rock me on the water I'll get down to the sea somehow

Do the steps that you've been shown, by everyone you've ever known, until the dance becomes your very own.
Jackson Browne

I'm sensitive, you know, about some things, and as some of my partners could attest to, incredibly insensitive.
Jackson Browne
Image
No matter how close to yours another's steps have grown, in the end there is one dance you'll do alone.
Jackson Browne
Image
Lighten up while you still can, don't even try to understand. Just find a place to make your stand, and take it easy.
Jackson Browne
Image
Let the disappointments pass Let the laughter fill your glass Let the illusions last until they shatter Whatever you might hope to find among the thoughts that crowd your mind There won't be many that ever really matter.
Jackson Browne
Image
Famine and disaster, right there in front of you, and the more you watch, the less you do.
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
Jackson Browne
Image
Into a dancer you have grown from the seeds somebody else has sown.
Jackson Browne
Image
And while the future's there for anyone to change, still you know it's seems, It would be easier sometimes to change the past.
Jackson Browne
Image
Somewhere between the time you arrive and the time you go may lie a reason you were alive, but you'll never know.
Jackson Browne
Image
As far as those kinds of things, I also played at the concert to call for the release of Nelson Mandela when he was a political prisoner in South Africa. We were celebrating his 70th birthday and calling for his release.

I want to find myself a girl who can show me what laughter means, and we'll fill in the missing numbers in each others paint-by-numbers dreams.
