Looking Into You Lyrics - Singles - Browne Jackson

Well I looked into a house I once lived in 

Around the time I first went on my own 

When the roads were as many as the places I had dreamed of 

And my friends and I were one 

Now the distance is done and the search has begun 

I've come to see where my beginnings have gone 

Oh the walls and the windows were still standing 

And the music could be heard at the door 

Where the people who kindly endured my odd questions 

Asked if I came very far 

And when my silence replied they took me inside 

Where their children sat playing on the floor 

Well we spoke of the changes that would find us farther on 

And it left me so warm and so high 

But as I stepped back outside to the grey morning sun 

I heard that highway whisper and sigh 

Are you ready to fly? 

And I looked into the faces all passing by 

It's an ocean that will never be filled 

And the house that grows older and finally crumbles 

That even love cannot rebuild 

It's a hotel at best, you're here as a guest 

You oughta make yourself at home while you're waiting for the rest 

Well I looked into dream of the millions 

That one day the search will be through 

Now here I stand at the edge of my embattled illusions 

Looking into you 

The great song traveler passed through here 

And he opened my eyes to the view 

And I was among those who called him a prophet 

And I asked him what was true 

Until the distance had shown how the road remains alone 

Now I'm looking in my life for a truth that is my own 

Well I looked into the sky for my anthem 

And the words and the music came through 

But words and music can never touch the beauty that I've seen 

Looking into you -- and that's true
