ALL GOOD THINGS - Jackson Browne


    In the calling out to one another
    Of the lovers up and down the strand
    In the sound of the waves and the cries
    Of the seagulls circling the sand
    In the fragments of the songs
    Carried down the wind from some radio
    In the murmuring of the city in the distance
    Ominous and low

    I hear the sound of the world where we played
    And the far too simple beauty
    Of the promises we made

    If you ever need holding
    Call my name, I'll be there
    If you ever need holding
    And no holding back, I'll see you through
    Sky blue and black

    Where the touch of the lover ends
    And the soul of the friend begins
    There's a need to be separate and a need to be one
    And a struggle neither wins
    Where you gave me the world I was in
    And a place I could make a stand
    I could never see how you doubted me
    When I'd let go of your hand

    Yeah, and I was much younger then
    And I must have thought that I would know
    If things were going to end

    And the heavens were rolling
    Like a wheel on a track
    And our sky was unfolding
    And it'll never fold back
    Sky blue and black

    And I'd have fought the world for you
    If I thought that you wanted me to
    Or put aside what was true or untrue
    If I'd known that's what you needed
    What you needed me to do

    But the moment has passed by me now
    To have put away my pride
    And just come through for you somehow

    If you ever need holding
    Call my name, I'll be there
    If you ever need holding
    And no holding back, I'll see you through

    You're the color of the sky
    Reflected in each store-front window pane
    You're the whispering and the singing
    Of my tires in the rain
    You're the hidden cost and the thing that's lost
    In everything I do
    Yeah and I'll never stop looking for you
    In the sunlight and the shadows
    And the faces on the avenue
    That's the way love is
    That's the way love is
    That's the way love is
    Sky blue and black
