作词 : Jackson Browne
 作曲 : Jackson Browne
In my early years I hid my tears
 And passed my days alone
 Adrift on an ocean of loneliness
 My dreams like nets were thrown
 To catch the love that I'd heard of
 In books and films and songs
 Now 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
 Though my dreams have come up torn and empty
 As many times as love has come and gone
 To those gentle ones my memory runs
 To the laughter we shared at the meals
 I filled their kitchens and living rooms
 With my schemes and my broken wheels
 It was never clear how far or near
 The gates to my citadel lay
 They were cutting from stone some dreams of their own
 But they listened to mine anyway
 I'm not sure what I'm trying to say
 It could be I've lost my way
 Though I keep a watch over the distance
 Heaven's no closer than it was yesterday
 And the angels are older
 They know not to wait up for the sun
 They look over my shoulder
 At the maps and the drawings of the journey I've begun
 Now the distance leads me farther on
 Though the reasons I once had are gone
 I keep thinking I'll find what I'm looking for
 In the sand beneath the dawn
 But the angels are older
 They can see that the sun's setting fast
 They look over my shoulder
 At the vision of paradise contained in the light of the past
 And they lay down behind me
 To sleep beside the road till the morning has come
 Where they know they will find me
 With my maps and my faith in the distance
 Moving farther on
