The Late Show Lyrics - Late For The Sky - Jackson Browne

Everyone I? ve ever known has wished me well 

Anyway, that? s how it seems, it? s hard to tell 

Maybe people only ask you how you? re doing 

? Cause that? s easier than letting on how little they could care 

But when you know that you? ve got a real friend somewhere 

Suddenly all the others are so much easier to bear 

Now to see things clear it? s hard enough, I know 

While you? re waiting for reality to show 

Without dreamin' of the perfect love 

And holding it so far above 

That if you stumbled onto someone real, you? d never know 

(You? d never know)

You could be with somebody who is lonely too 

(Sometimes it doesn? t show) 

He might be trying to get across to you 

(Words can be so slow) 

When your own emptiness is all that? s gettin' through 

There comes a point when you? re not sure why you? re still talking 

I passed that point long ago 

(Long ago) 

I? m so tired of all this circling 

And all these glimpses of the end 

(You know it? s useless to pretend) 

That? s all the voices say, you? ll go right on circling 

Until you? ve found some kind of friend 

Well, I saw you through the laughter and the noise 

You were talking with the soldiers and the boys 

While they scuffled for your weary smiles 

I thought of all the empty miles 

And the years that I've spent looking for your eyes 

(Looking for your eyes) 

Photos 

Now I'm sitting here wondering what to say 

(That you might recognize) 

Afraid that all these words might scare you away 

(To break through the disguise) 

No one ever talks about their feelings anyway 

Without dressing them in dreams and laughter 

I guess it's just too painful otherwise 

Look, it's like you're standing in the window 

Of a house nobody lives in 

And I'm sitting in a car across the way 

(Let's just say) 

It's an early model Chevrolet 

(Let's just say) 

It's a warm and windy day 

You go and pack your sorrow 

The trash man comes tomorrow 

Leave it at the kerb and we'll just roll away
