Ive Been The One — текст песни (Jackson Browne)

(written by lowell george)

(performed by jackson browne on the lowell george tribute album rock and roll doctor;1997)



Ive been the one who has been frightened

And almost borne away by the very thoughts

That I feared yesterday

And it must be the dust or smoke thats in my eyes



How can I cry about something from someone I wont see

Oh my friends all say she had her chance

Lets go shoot some pool

Ya know a fool is just a fool

And Ive tried everything that whiskey cures

But the pain endures and now Im feeling that pain

I put my pride in my pocket

Thats how Ill spend my loneliest days

And it must be dust or smoke thats in my eyes



Dont know what to do

Hold the lamp above the rafters

These smoke-filled rooms will not replace her

Ive been the one who has been frightened

And almost borne away by the very thoughts

That I feared yesterday

And it must be dust or smoke thats in my eyes
