From Silver Lake - Jackson Browne (CD: Saturate Before Using) Intro: | | | |/ | Did you see our brother Asus A He was here the other day But he only came to say that he was leaving Did you see his lady Asus A She was looking where he’d gone But she wasn’t letting on that she was grieving She’s bound to go Perhaps she’ll find him waiting for his boat in some city far away She’s bound to go Asus D Asus A Lately I remember afternoons of smoke and wine There was nothing we could find but peace and pleasure And with a smile he told me That he wanted just to be on his way across the sea no man can measure He won’t be back And the sun may find him sleeping in the dust of some ruin far away He won’t be back Early today as I watched while the skyline was shaking Asus I heard a rumbling Early today the mechanical city was waking Asus And I ran out stumbling mumbling Asus D A Out through the laughter of children and dogs Did you see our brother Asus A He was here the other day But he only came to say that he can’t breathe here Did you see his lady Asus A She was reaching for his hand Just as if to tell her man that she can’t either They’re bound to go And the sun may find me running after them seeing something far away We won’t be back Someone who had been away Suddenly came back today and I allowed a hope to stray into my mind For a moment face to face We looked back upon the place Where long ago he went to chase our careless time Oh what do you know Not what I’ve been feeling The past is healing so slow My tomorrow Gone from sorrow Transcribed by Gerard Koot (Amsterdam The Netherlands) - june 2008 Email: Thanks Jon for the counter song lyrics
