《Looking East》歌词

[00:00:00] Looking East (LP Version) - Jackson Browne

[00:00:23] Standing in the ocean with the

[00:00:25] Sun burning low in the west

[00:00:30] Like a fire in the cavernous darkness

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

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

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

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

[00:00:47] Back to the sea looking east

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

[00:00:57] Conducted with a wink and a nod

[00:01:03] And where power and position

[00:01:05] Are equated with the grace of god

[00:01:10] These times are famine for the soul

[00:01:13] While for the senses it's a feast

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

[00:01:20] Far as you see looking east

[00:01:25] Hunger in the midnight hunger

[00:01:27] At the stroke of noon

[00:01:32] Hunger in the mansion hunger

[00:01:34] In the rented room

[00:01:39] Hunger on the tv hunger

[00:01:41] On the printed page

[00:01:46] And there's a godsized hunger

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

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

[00:01:57] And the deepening night

[00:02:01] Where I wait for the sun

[00:02:04] Looking east

[00:02:24] How long have I left my mind

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

[00:02:31] How long will it take to find the

[00:02:34] Higher power moving in me

[00:02:52] Power in the insect

[00:02:54] Power in the sea

[00:02:56] Power in the snow falling silently

[00:02:59] Power in the blossom

[00:03:01] Power in the stone

[00:03:03] Power in the song being sung alone

[00:03:07] Power in the wheatfield

[00:03:08] Power in the rain

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

[00:03:14] Power in the silence

[00:03:15] Power in the flame

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

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

[00:03:23] And the power of a prayer released

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

[00:03:30] Pray for the ones with the least

[00:03:35] Hunger in the midnight hunger

[00:03:37] At the stroke of noon

[00:03:42] Hunger in the banquet hunger

[00:03:44] In the bride and groom

[00:03:49] Hunger on the tv hunger

[00:03:51] On the printed page

[00:03:56] And there's a godsized hunger

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

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

[00:04:07] In the deepening night

[00:04:11] Where I wait for the sun

[00:04:15] Looking east
