Witness to the Lillipution is like our blog with less words and more photos, poetry, or music.
Jackson Browne - Late for the Sky (1974) Full Album
**
“Late For The Sky”
You never knew what I loved in you
I don’t know what you loved in me
Maybe the picture of somebody you were hoping I might be
“Fountain Of Sorrow”
I’m just one or two years and a couple of changes behind you
In my lessons at love’s pain and heartache school
“Farther On”
There’s a world of illusion and fantasy
In the place where the real world belongs
Still I look for the beauty in songs
To fill my head and lead me on
“The Late Show”
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
“The Road And The Sky”
Don’t think it won’t happen just because it hasn’t happened yet
“For A Dancer”
Perhaps a better world is drawing near
And just as easily it could all disappear
“Walking Slow”
Walking slow down the avenue
Through my old neighborhood
Don’t know why I’m happy
I’ve got no reason to feel this good
“Before The Deluge”
For some of them it was only the moment that mattered
And on the brave and crazy wings of youth
They went flying around in the rain
And their feathers, once so fine, grew torn and tattered
Bob Dylan - Tangled Up In Blue
Live in Charlotte, 1978
“Grand Ballad”, Bible version.Then she opened up the Bible And she started quotin' it to me Jeremiah chapter seventeen From verses 21 and 33.And in case anyone is curious, Jeremiah 17:21 - “Thus saith the LORD; Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem”.
17:33 doesn’t exist.
Please let me settle slowly
It’s only me just staring out at you
A seeming stranger speaking holy
I don’t mean to wake you up
It’s only loneliness just coming on — Eric Andersen
Oh, child, why you wanna hurt me?
I’m exiled, you can’t convert me
I’m lost in the haze of your delicate ways
With both eyes glazed
***
It’d be great to cross paths in a day and a half
Look at each other and laugh
But I don’t think it’s liable to happen
Like the sound of one hand clappin’
The vows that we kept are now broken and swept
’Neath the bed where we slept
Don’t think of me and fantasize on what we never had
Be grateful for what we’ve shared together and be glad
Why should we go on watching each other through a telescope?
Eventually we’ll hang ourselves on all this tangled rope
Oh, babe, time for a new transition
I wish I was a magician
I would wave a wand and tie back the bond
That we’ve both gone beyond
Do you know my world?
Do you know my kind?
Or, must I explain?
For the lonesome-hearted lovers with too personal a tale
