Jackson Browne Miscellaneous Song For Adam Though Adam was a friend of mine, I did not know him well He was alone into his distance, he was deep into his well I could guess what he was laughing at, but I couldn�t really tell Now the stories told that Adam jumped, but I�m thinking that he fell Together we went traveling, as we received the call His destination India, and I had none at all Oh, I still remember laughing with our backs against the wall So free of fear, we never thought that one of us might fall I sit before my only candle, but it�s so little light to find my way Now the story unfolds before my candle Which is shorter ev�ry hour, as it reaches for the day But I feel just like a candle, in a way I guess I�ll get there, but I wouldn�t say for sure When we parted we were laughing still, as our good-byes were said And I never heard from him again, as each our lives we lead Except for once in someone else�s letter that I read Until I heard the sudden word that a friend of mine was dead I sit before my only candle, like a pilgrim sits beside the wave Now this journey appears before my candle As a song that�s growing fainter, the harder I play That I fear before I end will fade away I guess I�ll get there, but I wouldn�t say for sure Though Adam was a friend of mine, I did not know him long And when I stood myself beside him, I never thought I was as strong Still it seems he stopped his singing in the middle of his song Well I�m not the one to say I know, but I�m hoping he was wrong I�m holding out my only candle, but it�s so little light to find my way Now the story�s been laid beneath my candle And it�s shorter ev�ry hour, as it reaches for the day Yes, I feel just like a candle in a way I hope I get there, but I�d never pray |
