Lights And Virtues
(Jackson Browne)
Here's to lights and virtues
Here's to truths yet to be known
Knowledge to light the darkness
The search for things of your own
Here's to lights and virtues
Here's to reaching higher ground
A life of hope and purpose
Here's to strength yet to be found
Honor - though it goes unrecognized
And truth - though liars abound
The pleasure of love and friendship
The courage to be alone

Lights & Virtues
(by jackson browne)
Heres to lights and virtues
Heres to truths yet to be known
Knowledge to light the darkness
The search for things of your own
Heres to lights and virtues
Heres to reaching higher ground
A life of hope and purpose
Heres to strength yet to be found
Honor -- though it goes unrecognized
And truth -- though liars abound
The pleasure of love and friendship
The courage to be alone

Marianne
Marianne, marianne
With your voice like silver strings ringing
And sounds of laughter and singing
Keep repeating, marianne, marianne
Marianne, marianne
Oh I can tell better than anyone else could
That theres more to you than just bad or good
Theres a teardrop or a shaft of light for your heart
Marianne, oh, marianne
The dawn will be breaking soon
And my voice will fade with the moon
And the sunlight will remind me of you

Ah, But Sometimes
Im a moody and swirling pool, lost in some dark wood
Angry at a million things and more
I can do no good
Ah, but sometimes -
Sometimes Im a growing blade of grass
Washed by the rain, bent by the wind
Im a deeply wounded lonely tree
Lost in my own way
Brooding on the saddest things and worse
Ive seen my better day
Im an old and broken tumbleweed
Lost on faded sands
Dreaming of my yesterdays before
I watch the heat waves dance

Were Off To See The Wizard
(from the soundtrack album the wizard of oz in concert: dreams do come true; performed by jackson browne & jewel)
Were off to see the wizard,
The wonderful wizard of oz.
We hear he is a wiz of a wiz
If ever a wiz there was.
If ever, oh ever, a wiz there was,
The wizard of oz is one because,
Because, because, because, because, because--
Because of the wonderful things he does.
Were off to see the wizard,
The wonderful wizard of oz.

In My Time
In my mind
The golden silver statues turn to tin
And I find
Confidence is just a place Ive been
In my mind
I was kind
When poppas begging friendship came to me
I was blind
To think it would be easy to be free
In my time
Ive not lied
I tried to save the pride I hold within
When I denied
Happiness is just a room Im in
In my time
In my mind
The golden silver statues turn to tin
And I find
Happiness is just a place Ive been
In my time

Lavender Windows
Lavender windows and burgundy doors
Olive green pillows on ebony floors
The lightest of wine
Could have been mine
It should have been mine
Promises kept and promises broken
Theyre all the same whether silent or spoken
Theyre not worth a penny
I didnt make many
I didnt break any
Roads that are leaving and roads that have gone
Oh every road moves but the one that Im on
The score is now even
And I should be leaving
Why am I not leaving

Fourth & Main
Im here at fourth and main
Been standing in the rain
I feel no joy, I feel no pain
I got nothing to lose, nothing to gain
Im at fourth and main
Been down at city hall
Been writing on the wall
The grass is wet and the trees are tall
I listen to the pigeons, to the raindrops fall
Im at city hall
Been down at pershing square
I cant seem to care
If the people stop or the people stare
I dont care if Im leaving, Im going somewhere
Im at pershing square

The Painter
We see him dancing in the morning
Stars depart the yawning sky
Hell take the hour that is passing
And leave it in his lovers eye
And if you want hell make it seem
As though youre walking in his dream
A mystic sea
We hear him laughing in the shadows
As he smuggles in the sand
Hes found another kind of color
In the magic he has donned
And if you want hell take the time
To ask the sun and moon to rhyme
And then combine
He draws no lines between what hes imagining

Sing My Songs To Me
Sing my songs to me
Sing them to me softly
Sing me sunlight and shadows
Orange groves and meadows
Let your voice ring back my memories
Sing my songs to me
Bring my dreams to me
Bring them from the darkness
Let the minutes and hours
Show my mind strange new flowers
But Id like to know where they go
When the morning comes
Bring my dreams to me
Because it seems to me that there may never be
A better chance to see who I am
Come timelessly dancing
Through my dreams to me
