As if I really didn't understand. That I was just another part of their plan. I went off looking for the promise. Believing in the Motherland. And from the comfort of a dreamer's bed.
Keep a fire burning in your eye. Pay attention to the open sky. You never know what will be coming down. I don't remember losing track of you. You were always dancing in and out of view.
(from the album Rubaiyat: Elektra's 40th Anniversary; performed by Jackson Browne with David Lindley). . First girl I loved--. Time has come I will sing the sad goodbye song.
In my early years I hid my tears. And passed my days alone. Adrift on an ocean of loneliness. My dreams like nets were thrown. To catch the love that I'd heard of.
Far from the arms of hunger. Far from the world disorder. Beyond the reach of warfare. Blinded by faith no longer. No longer free to plunder. No longer safe to rule.
I hear your heart beating everywhere. When we're apart I can hear you there. I hear your heart beating everywhere. Everywhere I go. . People say that I must be in love.
You used to stand on the tables. You used to shoot out the lights. You used to stop trucks on I-19. In your blue leopard tights. You got the vote of your high school.
(performed by joan baez & jackson browne from her album speaking of dreams). . Now that the city is dreaming, viva the pale moonlight. Take to your bibles, take to your beds, now that nothing seems right.
I am "El Rayo".. Soy el cantar del gallo.. Soy el caiman del bayou,. Cuando lo parte el rayo.. . Ven, ven aca.. Vuelve aca.. No no tengas miedo.. No no te voy a dar..
Downtown people gotta work a little harder working downtown. Downtown they got to think a little quicker 'cause they're downtown. Downtown the breaks are harder.
Don't you want to be there, don't you want to go?. Where the light is breaking and the cold clear winds blow. Don't you want to be there in the golden glow.
Doctor, my eyes have seen the years. And the slow parade of fears without crying. Now I want to understand. I have done all that I could. To see the evil and the good without hiding.
Down the side streets and the avenue. There be sisters walkin' two by two. Their dresses and their shoes are new. But their hearts are weary through and through.
A dirty wind blows through the sky. And the Autumn leaves cut loose and fly. Leave me watching. And wishing I could follow. Though among the regrets that I can't get by.
Cut it away. Somebody cut away this desperate heart. Cut it away. And help me find my way back to the start. Yeah, before I knew what I was looking for.
I live in a small town . . . deep in LA. About five miles north of where the Lakers play. Everybody here's from someplace else. Working all together just like Santa's elves.
(from the soundtrack to no nukes; peformed live by jackson browne with graham nash & david lindley). . The sheep's in the meadow. The cow's in the corn.
Colors of the sun. Flashing on the water top. Echo on the land. . Picking for a coin. Many other tiny worlds. Singing past my hand. . Awake to understand you are not dreaming.

Lying next to you in the dark. Listening to your pounding heart. The sheets are tangled around your waist. I watch the dream moving on your face. Feel you shake, hear your cries.
