In the time we've known,
That we each are a part of one another
We've lost as much as we have won
And as our lives have grown,
We have found that it only brings us pain
To hang on to the things that we have done
Still I've loved the times you've come
When you went away
Taking all that I built my false road on^?
I dropped my life and couldn't find the pieces
Now you come and go
And it's hard but I feel my strength returning
We'll see how far this new road reaches
We'll see a little more each time we come
Everybody's gonna tell you it's not worth it
Everybody's gotta show you their own pain
You might try to find your way up around it
But the need for love will still remain
Now we're lying here,
So safe in the ruins of our pleasure
Laughter marks the place where we have fallen
And our lives are near
So it wouldn't occur to us to wonder
Is this the past or the future that is calling
You know I've loved these times you've come
From Jackson Browne "For Everyman LP"
