Song For Adam

Song For Adam - Gregg Allman/Jackson Browne (傑克遜·布朗)

Written by：Gregg Allman

Though Adam was a friend of mine I did not know him well

He was alone into his distance he was deep into his well

I could guess what he was laughing at but I couldn't really tell

Now the stories told that Adam jumped but I'm hoping that he fell

Together we went traveling as we received the call

His destination India and I had none at all

Oh I still remember laughing with our backs against the wall

So free of fear we never thought that one of us might fall

I sit before my only candle but it's so little light to find my way

Now the story unfolds before my candle

Which is shorter ev'ry hour as it reaches for the day

But I feel just like a candle in a way

But I guess I'll get there I wouldn't say for sure

Wouldn't say for sure

When we parted we were still laughing as our good byes were said

And I never heard from him again as each our lives we lead

Except for once in someone else's letter that I read

Until I heard the sudden word that a friend of mine was dead

I sit before my only candle like a pilgrim sits before the way

Now his journey appears before my candle

As a song that's growing fainter the harder I play

But I feel just like a candle in a way

I guess I'll get there but I wouldn't say for sure

Ain't say for sure

Though Adam was a friend of mine I did not know him long

And when I stood myself behind I never felt so strong

Still it seems that he stopped singing in the middle of his song

I sit before my only candle like a pilgrim sits before the way

I'm holding out my only candle

As a song that's growing fainter the harder I play

But I feel just like a candle in a way

But I guess I'll get there but I wouldn't say for sure

Can't say for sure

Can't say for sure
