For A Dancer Lyrics - Late For The Sky - Jackson Browne

Keep a fire burning in your eye 

Pay attention to the open sky 

You never know what will be coming down 

I don't remember losing track of you 

You were always dancing in and out of view 

I must've thought you'd always be around 

Always keeping things real by playing the clown 

Now you're nowhere to be found 

I don't know what happens when people die 

Can't seem to grasp it as hard as I try 

It's like a song I can hear playing right in my ear 

But I can't sing 

I can't help listening 

I can't help feeling stupid standing 'round 

Crying is they ease you down 

'Cause I know that you'd rather we were dancing 

Dancing our sorrow away 

(Right on Dancing) 

No matter what fate chooses to play 

(There's nothing you can do about it anyway)

Just do the steps that you've been shown 

By everyone you've ever known 

Until the dance becomes your very own 

No matter how close to yours 

Another's steps have grown 

In the end there is one dance you'll do alone 

Keep a fire for the human race 

Let your prayers go drifting into space 

You never know what will be coming down 

Perhaps a better world is drawing near 

Just as easily it could all disappear 

Along with whatever meaning you might have found 

Don't let the uncertainty turn you around 

(The world keeps turning around and around) 

Go on and make a joyful sound 

Photos 

Into a dancer you have grown 

From a seed somebody else has thrown 

Go on ahead and throw some seeds of your own 

And somewhere between the time you arrive 

And the time you go 

May lie a reason you were alive 

That you'll never know
