Farther On (更远些) - Jackson Browne (杰克逊·布朗)[00:00:00]

In my early years I hid my tears[00:00:24]

And passed my days alone[00:00:30]

Adrift on an ocean of loneliness[00:00:36]

My dreams like nets were thrown[00:00:42]

To catch the love that I'd heard of[00:00:47]

In books and films and songs[00:00:53]

Now there's a world of illusion and fantasy[00:00:59]

In the place where the real world belongs[00:01:05]

Still I look for the beauty in songs[00:01:11]

To fill my head and lead me on[00:01:16]

Though my dreams have come up torn and empty[00:01:22]

As many times as love has come and gone[00:01:28]

To those gentle ones my memory runs[00:01:34]

To the laughter we shared at the meals[00:01:40]

I filled their kitchens and living rooms[00:01:46]

With my schemes and my broken wheels[00:01:51]

It was never clear how far or near[00:01:57]

The gates to my citadel lay[00:02:03]

They were cutting from stone some dreams of their own[00:02:09]

But they listened to mine anyway[00:02:14]

I'm not sure what I'm trying to say[00:02:20]

It could be I've lost my way[00:02:26]

Though I keep a watch over the distance[00:02:31]

Heaven's no closer than it was yesterday[00:02:37]

And the angels are older[00:02:42]

They know not to wait up for the sun[00:02:49]

They look over my shoulder[00:02:53]

At the maps and the drawings of the journey I've begun[00:02:58]

Now the distance leads me farther on[00:03:53]

Though the reasons I once had are gone[00:03:59]

I keep thinking I'll find what I'm looking for[00:04:05]

In the sand beneath the dawn[00:04:10]

But the angels are older[00:04:15]

They can see that the sun's setting fast[00:04:22]

They look over my shoulder[00:04:26]

At the vision of paradise contained[00:04:31]

In the light of the past[00:04:35]

And they lay down behind me[00:04:38]

To sleep beside the road till the morning has come[00:04:44]

Where they know they will find me[00:04:50]

With my maps and my faith in the distance[00:04:54]

Moving farther on[00:04:59]
