Till I Go Down
Till I go down
Till I go down
Till I go down
Im not gonna shut my eyes
Till I go down
Im not gonna shut my eyes
Ive already seen the lies
On the faces of the men of war
Leading people to the killing floor
Till I go down
Till I go down
Till I go down
Im not gonna shut my eyes
No no
Till I go down
Till the world stops spinning around
Till Im six feet under the ground
Till theres no sound
Till theres no pain
Im gonna swing this chain

Redemption Song
(from the concert for the rock & roll hall of fame cd; peformed by jackson browne)
Old pirates, yes, they rob i
Sold I to the merchant ships
Minutes after they took i
From the bottomless pit
But my hand was made strong
By the hand of the almighty
We forward in this generation triumphantly
Wont you help to sing these songs of freedom?
cause all I ever had, redemption songs, redemption songs
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear of atomic energy
cause none of them can stop the time
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look?
Yes, some say its just a part of it
Weve got to fulfill the book

Doctor My Eyes
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
You must help me if you can
Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what is wrong
Was I unwise to leave them open for so long
cause I have wandered through this world
And as each moment has unfurled
Ive been waiting to awaken from these dreams
People go just where there will
I never noticed them until I got this feeling
That its later than it seems
Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what you see
I hear their cries
Just say if its too late for me
Doctor, my eyes

Candy
Daughter of a woman who comes and goes
Candy
Daughter of a man she barely knows
Candy
All grown up about the things
People know to do
How to take a love and tear it in two
No no no that isnt how its gonna be
For candy
She wants to be in love
But she doesnt know why
Candy
You think shes a child
Look at her now
My my candy
Step by step this is her debut
Looking for love thats made to stay true
Step by step she looking for more than I see
Candy

And I See
Just like a leaf thats just been rained on
Something of a cloud above, a soon-awaking sun
And I see the day has just begun
Feeling windblown, reeling
I have grown out of my time
And like a circle casting shadows
Rolling over growing clover fields so far below
And I see Ive just begun to grow
Climbing, spinning, rhyming
I am pinning down my time
And like a river flowing seaward
Bounding down, surrounding things that have puzzled me before
And I see the ever-open door
Flirting pure love, certainly
Im sure of what I know
Just like a leaf thats just been rained on
Something of a cloud above, a soon-awaking sun
And I see the day has just begun
Feeling windblown, reeling
I have grown out of my time

Lawyers In Love
I cant keep up with whats been going on
I think my heart must just be slowing down
Among the human beings in their designer jeans
Am I the only one who hears the screams
And the strangled cries of lawyers in love
God sends his spaceships to america, the beautiful
They land at six oclock and there we are, the dutiful
Eating from tv trays, tuned into to happy days
Waiting for world war iii while jesus slaves
To the mating calls of lawyers in love
Last night I watched the news from washington, the capitol
The russians escaped while we werent watching them, like russians will
Now weve got all this room, weve even got the moon
And I hear the u.s.s.r. will be open soon
As vacation land for lawyers in love

Nothing But Time
(by jackson browne & howard burke)
Rolling down 295 out of portland, maine
Still high from the people up there and feeling no pain
Gonna make it to new jersey, gonna set it up and do it again
I got a bottle of wine (pass it over)
I got a broken white line (Im still sober)
There aint nothin but time between this silver eagle
And that new jersey line
Well its a rock and roll band or a movie you can take your pick
And it aint bad work if you can get it
But you gotta make it stick
But getting any kind of sleep on this rolling motel--thats the trick
Its just a bottle of wine (pass it over)
Its just a broken white line (Im still sober)
Its just a whole lot of time in the twilight zone
Between me and these friends of mine

Funny You Should Ask
Well its funny you should ask me how I feel
As the scenes before my eyes begin to reel
I cant remember how long I cried
I cant remember how hard I tried
Turned my thoughts away from you
Like I had something else to do
And now I find you here
And its funny you should want to see me now
Well Id refuse you but I cant remember how
I cant remember how long I cried
I cant remember how hard I tried
Id tell myself I didnt care
That I was down and you werent there
Youve been away so long
And its funny you should want to know my plans
As the future disappears beneath my hands
I cant remember how long I cried
I cant remember how hard I tried
Now Ill cast aside my memories
And shut you out most bitterly

Golden Slumbers/carry That Weight
(from the disney album for our children; peformed by jackson browne & jennifer warnes)
Once there was a way to get back homeward
Once there was a way to get back home
Sleep, pretty darling, do not cry
And i will sing a lullaby
Golden slumbers fill your eyes
Smiles awake you when you rise
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And i wil sing a lullaby
Once there was a way to get back homeward
Once there was a way to get back home
Sleep, pretty darling, do not cry
And i will sing a lullaby
Golden slumbers fill your eyes
Smiles awake you when you rise
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And i wil sing a lullaby
Oh, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
Oh, you're gonna carry that weight

Cast Off All My Fears
Once I was on my own
And falling
Once I was all alone
And calling
For someone, anyone today
To help me just a little on my way
And then I took a look around
And I saw the love that surrounded me
I knew that it was up to me
To cast off all the fears that bound me
Youll find you cant go on
Demanding
On ways to help you in
Defending
Your reason for being who you are
And asking for the lightest brightest star
I found that all I had to do
Was believe in the things that are true to me
And thatll happen naturally
And cast off all the fears that bound me
