![]() Retrospective (1989) [ larger cover art ] |
Well I've been out walking
I don't do that much talking these days
These days
These days I seem to think a lot about the things that I forgot to do for you
And all the times I had the chance to
And I had a lover
It's so hard to risk another these days
These days
Now if I seem to be afraid to live the life that I have made in song
Well it's just that I've been losing
For so long
Well I'll keep on moving
Moving on
Things are bound to be improving
These days
One of these days
These days I'll sit on cornerstones
And count the time in quarter tones to ten my friend
Don't confront me with my failures
I had not forgotten them

| kencanuck | Posted: Feb 27, 2009 - 21:08 It never happened. Stop passing along tabloid gossip as the truth. Daryl Hannah recanted the accusations. Police were there the night of the supposed incident and are on record that NOTHING happened. ardent_supperter wrote: Great tune. But how Darryl Hannah ever permitted him to beat her, I don't know. |

Leave him alone.
Are you nuts? People who do good public works often have the longest shadows at home. Look at John Denver... he was a rotten father. Ask Julian Lennon about "The love you take is equal to the love you make" and see how much love he got in his life from his dad (let alone not being in the will). |
| needles (Los Angeles, CA) | Posted: Nov 11, 2003 - 12:57 Gregg Allman's version has deeper soul...and he changed the line to "Please don't confront me with my failures, I'm aware of them". Puts better spin on the ball. |
| Illustr8r | Posted: Nov 11, 2003 - 12:51 Jackson Browne's music makes me want to abuse my hot-girlfriend-who-played-the-mermaid-in-"Splash" after my wife kills herself for insufficiently explained reasons. |
| Patrick (Columbia, MO (1920 miles E of Paradise, CA)) | Posted: Oct 21, 2003 - 23:44 Let's hear it for David Lindley on guitar. |
| B-dub (Durham, NC) | Posted: Oct 01, 2003 - 12:19 oh come on, people... Darryl Hannah would get on ANYONE'S nerves... |
| Spliff (Mountain Home, AR) | Posted: Oct 01, 2003 - 12:19 There is no disputing the fact that Jackson is one of the best song writers of all time. Don't confront him with his failures, he has not forgotten them. |

| Lupin_III (Lake Ronkonkoma, NY) | Posted: Aug 01, 2003 - 07:07 Damn. You got in that comment first. Which is to say you "beat" me to it. This always make me wonder WHY exactly his 1st wife committed suicide... |
| ardent_supperter (Los Angeles, CA) | Posted: Aug 01, 2003 - 06:58 Great tune. But how Darryl Hannah ever permitted him to beat her, I don't know. |
| dignan2 (New York, NY) | Posted: Aug 01, 2003 - 06:56 Give me Nico anyday. This just doesn't hold up. |
| ZM_Herb (Kingdom of the Sun, FL) | Posted: Aug 01, 2003 - 06:55 Simply, a great song from a great poet/songwriter. |
