(Jackson Browne)
|
Keep a fire burnin' in your eyes
|
Pay attention to the open skies
|
Yuo never know what will he coming down
|
I don t remember losing track of you
|
You were always dancing in and out of view
|
I must have thought you would always he around
|
Always keeping things real by playin' the clown
|
Now you're nowhere to be found
|
I don't know what happens when people die
|
Can't seem to grasp it as hard as I try
|
It's like a song I can hear playing right in my ear
|
But I can't sing, I can't help listening
|
I can't help feeling stupid, standing around
|
Crying is the easier down
|
'Cause I know that you would rather we'd be dancing
|
Dancin' our sorrow away
|
No matter what fate throws in your way
|
Just do the steps that you've been shown
|
By everyone you've ever known
|
Until the dance becomes your very own
|
No matter how close to yours
|
Another's steps have grown
|
In the end there is one dance you'll do alone
|
Keep a fire for the human race
|
Let your prayers go drifting into space
|
You never know what will he coming down
|
Perhaps a better world is drawing near
|
Just as easy it could all disappear
|
Along with whatever meaning you might have found
|
Don't let the uncertainty turn you around
|
Go on and I make a joyful sound
|
Into a dancer you have grown
|
From a seed somebody else has thrown
|
Go on ahead and thrown some seeds of your own
|
And somewhere between the time you arrive
|
And the time you go
|
May lie a reason you were alive
|
But you'll never know
|
