jackson browne & david lindley - for taking the trouble lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
for taking the trouble
for hanging on and tryin’
you’ve been working through the rubble of a shattered mind

[chorus]
yeah baby, tell me why
the tears are falling from your eye
tears of laughter, tears of grief
are they the tears of a captured thief?

[verse 2]
you thought that you were home free
thought you had her well in hand
but there were things about her you didn’t understand

[chorus]
yeah baby, tell me how
you’re gonna keep your promise now?
to live your life without regret
and make it work with what you get

[bridge]
you didn’t then, but now you know
when she began to lie
you really should have let her go
[verse 3]
you’re learnin’ how to talk about it
you’re learnin’ how to bend
it’s like you’re learnin’ how to walk all over again

[chorus]
yeah baby, tell me who
you’re gonna give your lovin’ to?
the one who catches every eye
or the one you set your compass by

[bridge]
you set it by her soulful smile
the fire in her eye
the way she goes that extra mile
the love you wanted this to be
is somewhere down the line
you’ll find her eventually

[outro]
your grandma and her grandma
sittin’ ’round heaven discussin’ the law
lovin’ that girl was not your crime
livin’ without her gonna take some time
lovin’ that girl next thing you knew
you’d turned away from the thing you do
lovin’ that girl, you couldn’t see
livin’ without her gonna make you free
