《Looking East》歌词

[00:00:00] Looking East - Jackson Browne

[00:00:03] Written by：Luis Conte/Kevin McCormick/Scott Thurston

[00:00:22] Standing in the ocean with the sun burning low in the west

[00:00:29] Like a fire in the cavernous darkness

[00:00:32] At the heart of the beast

[00:00:37] With my beliefs and possessions

[00:00:39] Stopped at the frontier in my chest

[00:00:44] At the edge of my country

[00:00:46] My back to the sea looking east

[00:00:55] Where the search for the truth

[00:00:57] Is conducted with a wink and a nod

[00:01:02] And where power

[00:01:03] And position are equated with the grace of God

[00:01:09] These times

[00:01:11] Are famine for the soul while for the senses it's a feast

[00:01:17] From the edge of my country

[00:01:19] As far as you see looking east

[00:01:24] Hunger in the midnight

[00:01:26] Hunger at the stroke of noon

[00:01:32] Hunger in the mansion

[00:01:33] Hunger in the rented room

[00:01:39] Hunger on the tv

[00:01:41] Hunger on the printed page

[00:01:46] And theres a godsized hunger

[00:01:48] Underneath the laughing and the rage

[00:01:53] In the absence of light

[00:01:56] And the deepening night

[00:02:00] Where I wait for the sun

[00:02:04] Looking east

[00:02:23] How long have I left my mind

[00:02:27] To the powers that be

[00:02:30] How long will it take to find

[00:02:34] The higher power moving in me

[00:02:52] Power in the insect

[00:02:53] Power in the sea

[00:02:55] Power in the snow falling silently

[00:02:59] Power in the blossom

[00:03:01] Power in the stone

[00:03:02] Power in the song

[00:03:04] Being sung alone

[00:03:06] Power in the wheatfield

[00:03:08] Power in the rain

[00:03:10] Power in the sunlight and the hurricane

[00:03:13] Power in the silence

[00:03:15] Power in the flame

[00:03:17] Power in the sound of the lovers name

[00:03:20] The power of the sunrise

[00:03:22] And the power of a prayer released

[00:03:27] On the edge of my country

[00:03:29] I pray for the ones with the least

[00:03:34] Hunger in the midnight

[00:03:36] Hunger at the stroke of noon

[00:03:42] Hunger in the banquet

[00:03:43] Hunger in the bride and groom

[00:03:49] Hunger on the tv

[00:03:51] Hunger on the printed page

[00:03:56] And theres a godsized hunger

[00:03:58] Underneath the questions of the age

[00:04:03] And an absence of light

[00:04:06] In the deepening night

[00:04:10] Where I wait for the sun

[00:04:14] Looking east
