Gotta See A Man About A Daydream Lyrics - Jackson Browne

I could write for you 

A song about the warming of September 

But I couldn't really give to you 

That month in the spring 

And I could write for you 

Melodies dedicated to the seasons 

But I'd be caught behind 

Remembering a reason not to sing 

And the music would accompany 

The words it brings along 

Why should I try? How can I try? 

I can't give you the seasons in a song 

I could paint for you 

A picture with a swirling world of color 

But I couldn't really give to you 

The brush strokes of my mind

And in my ticker-tape parade 

All the memories of all my failures 

Would be summoned in 

And made to walk a step or two behind 

And models seldom find themselves 

In portraits that I've drawn 

But I have cried and not denied 

That my colors aren't clear enough in song 

You ask of me what's a word 

That rhymes with all your confusion 

Don't you think that's just 

A little bit unusual to ask? 

Once you asked of me once before 

What is a word for all your crying 

But you were laughing at me all the time 

Behind your tragic mask 

Photos 

Now, you ask me and my friends 

If you can pack and come along 

Why should I try? How can I try? 

If you can follow the honesty in song 

So I'll go skipping through all my 

Daydreams at a thousand miles an hour 

And I'll try to sort things out 

Into an order if I can 

I've got a couple things to do 

Before I come and talk to you again 

Well I'll meet you in a dream or two 

Down by the borderland 

I've got a necessary game to play 

And changes to go through 

It's time to go, time to go 

So it's so long, farewell 

And I'll be seeing you
