Jackson Browne - The Barricades of Heaven текст песни

Running down around the towns along the shore

When I was sixteen and on my own

No, I couldnt tell you what the hell those brakes were for

I was just trying to hear my song

Jimmy found his own sweet sound and won that free guitar

Wed all get in the van and play

Life became the paradox, the bear, the rouge et noir

And the stretch of road running to l.a.

Pages turning

Pages we were years from learning

Straight into the night our hearts were flung

Better bring your own redemption when you come

To the barricades of heaven where Im from

All the world was shining from those hills

The stars above and the lights below

Among those there to test their fortunes and their wills

I lost track of the score long ago

Pages turning

Pages we were years from learning

Straight into the night our hearts were flung

Better bring your own redemption when you come

To the barricades of heaven where Im from

Childhood comes for me at night

Voices of my friends

Your face bathing me in light

Hope that never ends

Pages turning

Pages torn and pages burning

Faded pages, open in the sun

Better bring your own redemption when you come

To the barricades of heaven where Im from.

Better bring your own redemption when you come

To the barricades of heaven where Im from.
