YOUR BRIGHT BABY BLUES — текст песни (Jackson Browne)

I`m sitting down by the highway
Down by that highway side
Everybody`s going somewhere
Riding just as fast as they can ride
I guess they`ve got a lot to do
Before they can rest assured
Their lives are justified
Pray to God for me baby
He can let me slide

`Cause I`ve been up and down this highway
Far as my eyes can see
No matter how fast I run
I can never seem to get away from me
No matter where I am
I can`t help feeling I`m just a day away
From where I want to be
Now I`m running home baby
Like a river to the sea

Baby if you can see me
Out across this wilderness
There`s just one thing
I was hoping you might guess
Baby you can free me
All in the power of your sweet tenderness

I can see it in your eyes
You`ve got those bright baby blues
You don`t see what you`ve got to gain
But you don`t like to lose
You watch yourself from the sidelines
Like your life is a game you don`t mind playing
To keep yourself amused
I don`t mean to be cruel baby
But you`re looking confused

Baby if you can hear me
Turn down your radio
There`s just one thing
I want you to know
When you`ve been near me
I`ve felt the love stirring in my soul

It`s so hard to come by
That feeling of peace
This friend of mine said
"Close your eyes, and try a few of these"
I thought I flying like a bird
So far above my sorrow
But when I looked down
I was standing on my knees
Now I need someone to help me
Someone to help me please

Baby if you need me
Like I know I need you
There`s just one thing
I`ll ask you to do
Take my hand and lead me
To the hole in your garden wall
And pull me through
