jackson browne - intro - fountain of sorrow lyrics

[intro]
the other night in palm desert
somebody asked me to sing “peaceful easy feeling”
and i, and normally when people call for it
you know, there was some guy that showed up at one tour
he was like at every gig yelling for “tequila sunrise”
and i thought, okay, that’s, you know, it was funny, you know, but
but i could tell these people really wanted to hear “peaceful easy feeling”
’cause you’re in palm desert, and i thought, you know
it’s that line, you know, “i wanna sleep with you in the desert tonight”
i thought, i’m gonna, you know
okay, i, i know that song, kind of
i mеan i don’t think i’ve probably have evеr sung it, you know
and i did sing it, but it was—
i got to that verse where it said, you know
“i found out a long time ago,” you know
and i sang, ha ha, “what a woman can do to a man”
or, “what a woman can do for a man”
and the whole place went sort of—
you can hear this big sigh and a kind of groan
and i went, “what?”
and they went, and just in unison, all, this whole place just went
“your soul! your soul!”
and i went, and i couldn’t understand it, “what?”
“your soul! what a woman can do for your soul!”
and i went, “oh! of course,” you know
and then i, so i went on with the song
and then it says, you know
it’s fun, you know, because
i don’t know if i’m gonna, you know, sing the right words or not
but if, if i do, it’s a big thrill, you know?
so i got to the next line, and it was, uh
“yeah, but she can’t take you any way you don’t already know how to go”
and i thought, “well, i just flat out disagree with that”
i, you know, i got—
that might have been true—then, but it sure isn’t true now, so
anyway, i’m kind of drawn to do those songs that you call for
that i might not have done for a while
that i, you know, don’t know if i’ll get through
but it’s, it’s more exciting for me that way
and the truth is that when i do forget stuff
it’s totally without warning of course, you know
like, i don’t, i just want you to know
that i don’t forget the same stuff every night, alright?
