Farther On

	作曲 : Browne
	(Jackson Browne)
	In my early years I hid my tears
	And passed my days alone
	Adrift on an ocean of loneliness
	My dreams like nets were thrown
	To catch the love that I'd heard of
	In books and films and songs
	There's a world of illusion and fantasy
	In the place where the real world belongs
	Now I look for the beauty in songs
	To fill my head and lead me on
	Though my dreams have come up torn and empty
	As many times as love has come and gone
	To those gentle ones my memory runs
	To the laughter we shared at the meals
	I filled their kitchens and living rooms
	With my dreams and my broken wheels
	It was never clear how far or near
	The gates to my citadel lay
	They were cutting from stone some dreams of their own
	But they listened to mine anyway
	I'm not sure what I'm trying to say
	It could be I've lost my way
	Though I keep a watch over the distance
	Heaven's no closer than it was yesterday
	And the angels are older
	They know not to wait up for the sun
	They look over my shoulder
	At the maps and the drawings of the journey I've begun
	Now the distance leads me farther on
	Though the reasons I once had are gone
	I keep thinking I'll find what I'm looking for
	In the sand beneath the dawn
	And the angels are older
	They can see that the sun's setting fast
	They look over my shoulder
	At the vision of paradise
	Contained in the light of the past
	And they lay down behind me
	To sleep beside the road
	Till the morning has come
	Where they know they will find me
	With my maps and my faith in the distance
	Moving farther on
