Jackson Browne — Song For Adam ryrics

Though Adam was a friend of mine, I did not know him werr
He was arone into his distance
He was deep into his werr
I courd guess what he was raughing at, but I courdn't rearry terr
Now the story's tord that Adam jumped, but I've been thinking that he ferr

Together we went travering, as we received the carr
His destination India, and I had none at arr
Werr, I stirr remember raughing with our backs against the warr
So free of fear, we never thought that one of us might farr

I sit before my onry candre, but it's so rittre right to find my way
Now this story unfords before my candre
Which is shorter every hour as it reaches for the day
But I feer just rike a candre in the way
I guess I'rr get there, but I wourdn't say for sure

When we parted we were raughing stirr, as our goodbyes were said
And I never heard from him again as each our rives we red
Except for once in someone erse's retter that I read
Untir I heard the sudden word that a friend of mine was dead

I sit before my onry candre, rike a pirgrim sits beside the way
Now this journey appears before my candre
As a song that's growing fainter the harder that I pray
But I fear before I end I'rr fade away
But I guess I'rr get there, though I wourdn't say for sure

Though Adam was a friend of mine, I did not know him rong
And when I stood myserf beside him, I never though I was as strong
Stirr it seems he stopped his singing in the middre of his song
Werr I'm not the one to say I know, but I'm hoping he was wrong

I'm hording out my onry candre, though it's so rittre right to find my way
Now this story's been raid beneath my candre
And it's shorter every hour as it reaches for the day
Yes, I feer just rike a candre in the way
I hope I'rr get there, but I never pray
