Gotta See A Man About A Daydream

I could write for you
A song about the warming of september
But I couldnt really give to you
That month in the spring
And I could write for you
Melodies dedicated to the seasons
But Id be caught behind
Remembering a reason not to sing
And the music would accompany
The words it brings along
Why should I try
How can I try
I cant give you the seasons in a song
I could paint for you
A picture with a swirling world of color
But I couldnt really give to you
The brush strokes of my mind
And in my ticker-tape parade
All the memories of all my failures
Would be summoned in
And made to walk a step or two behind
And models seldom find themselves
In portraits that Ive drawn
But I have cried
And not denied
That my colors arent clear enough in song
You ask of me
Whats a word that rhymes with all your confusion
Dont you think thats just a little bit
Unusual to ask
Once you asked of me
Once before what is a word for all your crying
But you were laughing at me all the time
Behind your tragic mask
Now you ask me and my friends
If you can pack and come along
Why should I try
How can I try
If you can follow the honesty in song
So Ill go skipping through
All my daydreams at a thousand miles an hour
And Ill try to sort things out
Into an order if I can
Ive got a couple things to do
Before I come and talk to you again
Well Ill meet you in a dream or two
Down by the borderland
Ive got a necessary game to play
And changes to go through
Its time to go, time to go
So its so long, farewell
And Ill be seeing you

song performed by Jackson Browne
