The Barricades Of Heaven Lyrics - Singles - Browne Jackson

Running down around the towns along the shore 

When I was sixteen and on my own 

No, I couldn't tell you what the hell those brakes were for 

I was just trying to hear my song 

Jimmy found his own sweet sound and won that free guitar 

We'd all get in the van and play 

Life became the paradox, the bear, the rouge et noir 

And the stretch of road running to L.A. 

Pages turning 

Pages we were years from learning 

Straight into the night our hearts were flung 

Better bring your own redemption when you come 

To the barricades of heaven where I'm from 

All the world was shining from those hills 

The stars above and the lights below 

Among those there to test their fortunes and their wills 

I lost track of the score long ago 

Pages turning 

Pages we were years from learning 

Straight into the night our hearts were flung 

Better bring your own redemption when you come 

To the barricades of heaven where I'm from 

Childhood comes for me at night 

Voices of my friends 

Your face bathing me in light 

Hope that never ends 

Pages turning 

Pages torn and pages burning 

Faded pages, open in the sun 

Better bring your own redemption when you come 

To the barricades of heaven where I'm from 

Better bring your own redemption when you come 

To the barricades of heaven where I'm from
