Looking East - Jackson Browne[00:00:00]

Written by：Luis Conte/Kevin McCormick/Scott Thurston[00:00:03]

Standing in the ocean with the sun burning low in the west[00:00:22]

Like a fire in the cavernous darkness[00:00:29]

At the heart of the beast[00:00:32]

With my beliefs and possessions[00:00:37]

Stopped at the frontier in my chest[00:00:39]

At the edge of my country[00:00:44]

My back to the sea looking east[00:00:46]

Where the search for the truth[00:00:55]

Is conducted with a wink and a nod[00:00:57]

And where power[00:01:02]

And position are equated with the grace of God[00:01:03]

These times[00:01:09]

Are famine for the soul while for the senses it's a feast[00:01:11]

From the edge of my country[00:01:17]

As far as you see looking east[00:01:19]

Hunger in the midnight[00:01:24]

Hunger at the stroke of noon[00:01:26]

Hunger in the mansion[00:01:32]

Hunger in the rented room[00:01:33]

Hunger on the tv[00:01:39]

Hunger on the printed page[00:01:41]

And theres a godsized hunger[00:01:46]

Underneath the laughing and the rage[00:01:48]

In the absence of light[00:01:53]

And the deepening night[00:01:56]

Where I wait for the sun[00:02:00]

Looking east[00:02:04]

How long have I left my mind[00:02:23]

To the powers that be[00:02:27]

How long will it take to find[00:02:30]

The higher power moving in me[00:02:34]

Power in the insect[00:02:52]

Power in the sea[00:02:53]

Power in the snow falling silently[00:02:55]

Power in the blossom[00:02:59]

Power in the stone[00:03:01]

Power in the song[00:03:02]

Being sung alone[00:03:04]

Power in the wheatfield[00:03:06]

Power in the rain[00:03:08]

Power in the sunlight and the hurricane[00:03:10]

Power in the silence[00:03:13]

Power in the flame[00:03:15]

Power in the sound of the lovers name[00:03:17]

The power of the sunrise[00:03:20]

And the power of a prayer released[00:03:22]

On the edge of my country[00:03:27]

I pray for the ones with the least[00:03:29]

Hunger in the midnight[00:03:34]

Hunger at the stroke of noon[00:03:36]

Hunger in the banquet[00:03:42]

Hunger in the bride and groom[00:03:43]

Hunger on the tv[00:03:49]

Hunger on the printed page[00:03:51]

And theres a godsized hunger[00:03:56]

Underneath the questions of the age[00:03:58]

And an absence of light[00:04:03]

In the deepening night[00:04:06]

Where I wait for the sun[00:04:10]

Looking east[00:04:14]
