《Song For Adam》歌词

[00:00:00] Song For Adam (LP版) - Jackson Browne (杰克逊·布朗)

[00:00:00] Written by：Jackson Browne

[00:00:24] Though Adam was a friend of mine I did not know him well

[00:00:30] He was alone into his distance

[00:00:34] He was deep into his well

[00:00:39] I could guess what he was laughing at but I couldn't really tell

[00:00:45] Now the story's told that Adam jumped but I've been thinking that he fell

[00:00:58] Together we went traveling as we received the call

[00:01:04] His destination India and I had none at all

[00:01:12] Well I still remember laughing with our backs against the wall

[00:01:19] So free of fear we never thought that one of us might fall

[00:01:27] I sit before my only candle but it's so little light to find my way

[00:01:40] Now this story unfolds before my candle

[00:01:47] Which is shorter every hour as it reaches for the day

[00:01:54] But I feel just like a candle in the way

[00:02:00] I guess I'll get there but I wouldn't say for sure

[00:02:22] When we parted we were laughing still as our goodbyes were said

[00:02:28] And I never heard from him again as each our lives we led

[00:02:36] Except for once in someone else's letter that I read

[00:02:43] Until I heard the sudden word that a friend of mine was dead

[00:02:51] I sit before my only candle like a pilgrim sits beside the way

[00:03:03] Now this journey appears before my candle

[00:03:10] As a song that's growing fainter the harder that I play

[00:03:17] But I fear before I end I'll fade away

[00:03:23] But I guess I'll get there though I wouldn't say for sure

[00:03:45] Though Adam was a friend of mine I did not know him long

[00:03:51] And when I stood myself beside him I never though I was as strong

[00:03:59] Still it seems he stopped his singing in the middle of his song

[00:04:06] Well I'm not the one to say I know but I'm hoping he was wrong

[00:04:14] I'm holding out my only candle though it's so little light to find my way

[00:04:27] Now this story's been laid beneath my candle

[00:04:34] And it's shorter every hour as it reaches for the day

[00:04:41] Yes I feel just like a candle in the way

[00:04:46] I hope I'll get there but I never pray
