Your Bright Baby Blues

I'm sittin' down by the highway Down by that highway side Everybody's goin' somewhere Ridin' just as fast as they could ride I guess they got a lot to do Before they can rest assured Their lives are justified Pray to God for me, babe, he can let me slide Well, I've been up and down this highway Far as my eyes can see No matter how fast I run I can never seem to get away from me No matter where I am I can't help thinkin' I'm just a day away Where I wanna be Now I'm runnin' home, baby Like a river to the sea Baby, if you could see me Out across this wilderness There's just one thing I was hopin' you might guess Baby, you can free me All in the power of your sweet tenderness Yeah, yeah I can see it in your eyes You've got those bright baby blues You don't see what you've got to gain But you don't like to lose You watch yourself from the sidelines Like your life is a game You don't mind playin' to keep yourself amused I don't mean to be cruel, babe But you're lookin' confused Baby if you can hear me Turn down your radio There's just one thing I want you to know When you've been near me I've felt the love Stirrin' in my soul, yeah, yeah, yes I have It's so hard to come by That feeling of peace This friend of mine said "Close your eyes And try a few of these" I thought I was flyin' like a bird So far up above my sorrow But when I looked down I was standin' on my knees Now I need Someone to help me Someone to help me, please Baby, if you need me Like I know I need you There's just one thing I'll ask you to do Take my hand and lead me To the hole in your garden wall And pull me through, pull me through Songwriter: Jackson Browne
