JACKSON BROWNE - The Barricades Of Heaven lyrics

rate me

Running down around the towns along the shore<br>When I was sixteen and on my own<br>No, I couldn't tell you what the hell those brakes were for<br>I was just trying to hear my song<br><br>Jimmy found his own sweet sound and won that free guitar<br>We'd all get in the van and play<br>Life became the paradox, the bear, the rouge et noir<br>And the stretch of road running to l.a.<br><br>Pages turning<br>Pages we were years from learning<br>Straight into the night our hearts were flung<br>Better bring your own redemption when you come<br>To the barricades of heaven where I'm from<br><br>All the world was shining from those hills<br>The stars above and the lights below<br>Among those there to test their fortunes and their wills<br>I lost track of the score long ago<br><br>Pages turning<br>Pages we were years from learning<br>Straight into the night our hearts were flung<br>Better bring your own redemption when you come<br>To the barricades of heaven where I'm from<br><br>Childhood comes for me at night<br>Voices of my friends<br>Your face bathing me in light<br>Hope that never ends<br><br>Pages turning<br>Pages torn and pages burning<br>Faded pages, open in the sun<br>Better bring your own redemption when you come<br>To the barricades of heaven where I'm from.<br>Better bring your own redemption when you come<br>To the barricades of heaven where I'm from.
