Of Missing Persons - Jackson Browne[00:00:00]
Your father was a rounder[00:00:20]
He played that rock and roll[00:00:25]
A leaper and a bounder[00:00:30]
Down to his gypsy soul[00:00:34]
The music was his angel[00:00:39]
And sorrow was his star[00:00:44]
And those of us who follow[00:00:49]
Might hope to reach as far[00:00:54]
They're walking slow in Houston[00:00:59]
Speechless in D C [00:01:04]
There's no way I could tell you[00:01:09]
What he meant to me[00:01:12]
Your mother's a survivor[00:01:19]
She'll do what must be done[00:01:23]
Her children will revive her[00:01:28]
And help her see the sun[00:01:33]
She almost knew that unison[00:01:38]
But the singing stopped too soon[00:01:43]
Now she shares the silence[00:01:48]
With a man up in the moon[00:01:53]
To speak of missing persons[00:01:58]
Tonight there's only one[00:02:03]
And we all carry with us what the man's begun[00:02:07]
And you can sing this song[00:02:15]
On July the fourth[00:02:21]
In the sunny South and the frozen North[00:02:25]
It's a day of loss it's your day of birth[00:02:35]
Does it take a death to learn what a life is worth [00:02:44]
Your brothers are all older[00:02:54]
And they'll take it in their stride[00:02:59]
The world's a little colder[00:03:04]
But manhood's on their side[00:03:09]
Now you're the little girl child[00:03:14]
And you look so much like him[00:03:19]
And he's right there inside you[00:03:24]
Each time you want to sing[00:03:28]
Sing of missing persons[00:03:33]
Tonight there's only one[00:03:38]
But he's where you can find him when it's said and done[00:03:43]
And we will sing this song[00:03:51]
On July the fourth[00:03:56]
From the sunny South and the frozen North[00:04:01]
This will always be your day of birth[00:04:10]
May you always see what your life is worth[00:04:20]
Sing a song on July the fourth[00:05:27]
In the sunny South and the frozen North[00:05:35]
It's a day of loss it's your day of birth[00:05:44]
