[ti:Song For Adam (LP版)] [ar:Jackson Browne] [al:Jackson Browne] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]Song for Adam (Remastered) - Jackson Browne [00:12.46]Written by:Jackson Browne [00:24.92]Though Adam was a friend of mine I did not know him well [00:30.75]He was alone into his distance [00:34.19]He was deep into his well [00:39.16]I could guess what he was laughing at but I couldn't really tell [00:45.97]Now the story's told that Adam jumped but I've been thinking that he fell [00:58.58]Together we went traveling as we received the call [01:04.64]His destination India and I had none at all [01:12.90]Well I still remember laughing with our backs against the wall [01:19.74]So free of fear we never thought that one of us might fall [01:27.94]I sit before my only candle but it's so little light to find my way [01:40.18]Now this story unfolds before my candle [01:47.13]Which is shorter every hour as it reaches for the day [01:54.12]But I feel just like a candle in the way [02:00.03]I guess I'll get there but I wouldn't say for sure [02:22.04]When we parted we were laughing still as our goodbyes were said [02:28.14]And I never heard from him again as each our lives we led [02:36.69]Except for once in someone else's letter that I read [02:43.45]Until I heard the sudden word that a friend of mine was dead [02:51.47]I sit before my only candle like a pilgrim sits beside the way [03:03.74]Now this journey appears before my candle [03:10.86]As a song that's growing fainter the harder that I play [03:17.64]But I fear before I end I'll fade away [03:23.06]But I guess I'll get there though I wouldn't say for sure [03:45.27]Though Adam was a friend of mine I did not know him long [03:51.42]And when I stood myself beside him I never though I was as strong [03:59.86]Still it seems he stopped his singing in the middle of his song [04:06.60]Well I'm not the one to say I know but I'm hoping he was wrong [04:14.85]I'm holding out my only candle though it's so little light to find my way [04:27.28]Now this story's been laid beneath my candle [04:34.57]And it's shorter every hour as it reaches for the day [04:41.17]Yes I feel just like a candle in the way [04:46.93]I hope I'll get there but I never pray
