Song for Adam (feat. Jackson Browne)

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 story's 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 Well, I still remember laughing with our backs up 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 this story unfolds before my candle Which is shorter every 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 Can't say for sure When we parted we were still laughing, as our goodbyes were said And I never heard from him again as each our lives we led 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 he stopped his 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
