For Taking The Trouble Lyrics - Love Is Strange - Jackson Browne

For taking the trouble, for hanging on and tryin' 

Now you've been working through the rubble of a shattered mind 

Yeah Baby, tell me why the tears are falling from your eye 

Tears of laughter, tears of grief, are they the tears of a captured thief? 

You thought that you were home free, thought you had her well in hand 

But there were things about her you didn't understand 

Yeah Baby, tell me how you're gonna keep that promise now? 

To live your life without regret and make it work with what you get 

You didn't then, but now you know 

When she began to lie-you really should have let her go

You're learnin' how to talk about it, you're learnin' how to bend 

It's like you're learning how to walk all over again 

Yeah Baby, tell me who you're gonna give your lovin' to? 

That girl who catches every eye 

Or the one you can set your compass by 

You set it by her soulful smile 

The fire in her eye 

And the way she goes that extra mile 

The love you wanted this to be 

Is somewhere down the line 

You'll find her eventually 

Photos 

Your grandma and her grandma 

Sittin' 'round heaven discussin' the law 

Lovin' that girl was not your crime, 

Livin' without her gonna take some time 

Lovin' that girl next thing you knew, 

You'd turned away from the thing you do 

Lovin' that girl, you couldn't see 

Living without her gonna make you free
