《Looking East (LP Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Looking East - Jackson Browne (杰克逊·布朗)

[00:00:22] Standing in the ocean with the sun burning low in the west

[00:00:29] Like a fire in the cavernous darkness at the heart of the

[00:00:33] Beast

[00:00:36] With my beliefs and possessions stopped at the frontier in my chest

[00:00:44] At the edge of my country my back to the sea looking east

[00:00:55] Where the search for the truth is conducted with a wink and

[00:00:59] A nod

[00:01:02] And where power and position are equated with the grace

[00:01:06] Of god

[00:01:09] These times are famine for the soul while for the senses its

[00:01:14] A feast

[00:01:16] From the edge of my country as far as you see looking east

[00:01:24] Hunger in the midnight hunger at the stroke of noon

[00:01:31] Hunger in the mansion hunger in the rented room

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

[00:01:45] And theres a god-sized hunger underneath the laughing

[00:01:51] And the rage

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

[00:01:56] And the deepening night

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

[00:02:04] Looking east

[00:02:23] How long have I left my mind to the powers that be

[00:02:30] How long will it take to find the higher power moving in

[00:02:37] Me

[00:02:52] Power in the insect

[00:02:53] Power in the sea

[00:02:55] Power in the snow falling silently

[00:02:59] Power in the blossom

[00:03:00] Power in the stone

[00:03:02] Power in the song being sung alone

[00:03:06] Power in the wheatfield

[00:03:07] Power in the rain

[00:03:09] Power in the sunlight and the hurricane

[00:03:13] Power in the silence

[00:03:14] Power in the flame

[00:03:16] Power in the sound of the lovers name

[00:03:20] The power of the sunrise and the power of a prayer released

[00:03:27] On the edge of my country I pray for the ones with the least

[00:03:34] Hunger in the midnight hunger at the stroke of noon

[00:03:41] Hunger in the banquet hunger in the bride and groom

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

[00:03:56] And theres a god-sized hunger underneath the questions of

[00:03:59] The age

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

[00:04:07] In the deepening night

[00:04:10] Where I wait for the sun

[00:04:14] Looking east
