《Farther On》歌词

[00:00:00] Farther On (更远些) - Jackson Browne (杰克逊·布朗)

[00:00:24] In my early years I hid my tears

[00:00:30] And passed my days alone

[00:00:36] Adrift on an ocean of loneliness

[00:00:42] My dreams like nets were thrown

[00:00:47] To catch the love that I'd heard of

[00:00:53] In books and films and songs

[00:00:59] Now there's a world of illusion and fantasy

[00:01:05] In the place where the real world belongs

[00:01:11] Still I look for the beauty in songs

[00:01:16] To fill my head and lead me on

[00:01:22] Though my dreams have come up torn and empty

[00:01:28] As many times as love has come and gone

[00:01:34] To those gentle ones my memory runs

[00:01:40] To the laughter we shared at the meals

[00:01:46] I filled their kitchens and living rooms

[00:01:51] With my schemes and my broken wheels

[00:01:57] It was never clear how far or near

[00:02:03] The gates to my citadel lay

[00:02:09] They were cutting from stone some dreams of their own

[00:02:14] But they listened to mine anyway

[00:02:20] I'm not sure what I'm trying to say

[00:02:26] It could be I've lost my way

[00:02:31] Though I keep a watch over the distance

[00:02:37] Heaven's no closer than it was yesterday

[00:02:42] And the angels are older

[00:02:49] They know not to wait up for the sun

[00:02:53] They look over my shoulder

[00:02:58] At the maps and the drawings of the journey I've begun

[00:03:53] Now the distance leads me farther on

[00:03:59] Though the reasons I once had are gone

[00:04:05] I keep thinking I'll find what I'm looking for

[00:04:10] In the sand beneath the dawn

[00:04:15] But the angels are older

[00:04:22] They can see that the sun's setting fast

[00:04:26] They look over my shoulder

[00:04:31] At the vision of paradise contained

[00:04:35] In the light of the past

[00:04:38] And they lay down behind me

[00:04:44] To sleep beside the road till the morning has come

[00:04:50] Where they know they will find me

[00:04:54] With my maps and my faith in the distance

[00:04:59] Moving farther on
