    LYRICS:
    In my early years i hid my tears
    And passed my days alone
    Adrift on an ocean of loneliness
    My dreams like nets were thrown
    To catch the love that I'd heard of
    In books and films and songs
    Now there's a world of illusion and fantasy
    In the place where the real world belongs
    Still i look for the beauty in songs
    To fill my head and lead me on
    Though my dreams have come up torn and empty
    As many times as love has come and gone
    To those gentle ones my memory runs
    To the laughter we shared at the meals
    I filled their kitchens and living rooms
    With my schemes and my broken wheels
    It was never clear how far or near
    The gates to my citadel lay
    They were cutting from stone some dreams of their own
    But they listened to mine anyway
    I'm not sure what i'm trying to say
    It could be i've lost my way
    Though i keep a watch over the distance
    Heaven's no closer than it was yesterday
    And the angels are older
    They know not to wait up for the sun
    They look over my shoulder
    At the maps and the drawings of the journey I've begun
    Now the distance leads me farther on
    Though the reasons i once had are gone
    I keep thinking I'll find what I'm looking for
    In the sand beneath the dawn
    But the angels are older
    They can see that the sun's setting fast
    They look over my shoulder
    At the vision of paradise contained in the light of the past
    And they lay down behind me
    To sleep beside the road till the morning has come
    Where they know they will find me
    With my maps and my faith in the distance
    Moving farther on

    Now im 67....time trippin back to my high school years. Always a sad/happy person, well now Im sad most days, longing for a simpler time. Sobered up 30 years ago trying to save a marriage, realizing I was a terrible everything. Marriage gone, never remarried. Pining away in my little room I saw this video, and here is this old fart singing the songs of my soul. He was the most handsome young man back then. The most amazing bands around him. He has aged well and the voice of another time still rich and clear. Yes I cried listening, realizing I had also been a handsome young man that had to good fortune to be young during the greatest of musical times. Thanks for still singing the songs of my soul. Namaste Friend(s)

    The genius of Jackson is that wrote a song at 25 that sounds more appropriate for him to singing when he’s in his 70’s. He’s now farther on. Just beautiful.

      Totally agree. His use of lyrics is masterful and his older songs are so bittersweet and beautiful they have nowhere to go but straight to your heart. My friend once told me that I love JB’s music so much because I recognize a truth when I hear it, and I totally get that. (I sound like such a Valley girl, and that’s a truth, because I am!)

      Jackson’s voice is just fine the it was and the way it is. No pretense or ostentation in his voice. Thank you Jackson. And by the way, on this point, has anyone tried to find out why at times Bruce Springsteen wanted to purposely sound like a country bumpkin , especially from New Jersey? I don’t get it and I don’t like it. This is apart from his songwriting. Just his singing abilities.

    Jackson, I’ve no idea if you’ll see this or not, but if the Universe sees fit, I’ve no doubt you will.
    It’s difficult for me to put into words how much your music has meant to me through the years , both good times and your songs that have seen me through the most difficult. However, Farther On means the most to me, as it brings back so many memories of my son Timothy O’Patrick. 14 yrs ago, he passed away at 19 from an accidental od. Your song Farther On brings back so many memories of a talented bright young man just about to set out into the world.
    I want you to know how much comfort & hope this song gives me. Thank you sharing it with the world.
    I honor, love & respect you,Jackson Browne! I’m so blessed I got to see you in St. Louis a few years back. It’s a memory I deeply cherish. God bless, brother and keep fighting the good fight! With heartfelt gratitude & peace ~BellaDJ/Mid Missouri 🍀💕🌎

    I have no words that can express what I feel about this song and Jackson.......and Greg's amazing part also. I am 68 and have loved music my whole life, and followed it very closely since I was a kid. I know this is just one person's opinion, but I think Jackson is the greatest writer of lyrics in the Rock Era. Whoever is 2nd is a LONG way behind him! I love his music, and one reasons is because of his incredible lyrics. I have been blessed to seee him in concert 2 times........once when he was by himself, and once with his band. I've been to quite a lot of concerts in 68 years, and his solo acoustic concert was the best one that i have EVER been to! AMAZING! He put his heart and soul into every song. Thank you Jackson, for sharing your talent with the rest of the world. We are better people because of you!

    I lost my younger brother to a brain tumor, when he was 24, and I sat in a dark room and played this song over and over on a record player (circa 1981) and as difficult as that was (and still is) the line about "with my maps and my faith in the distance, moving farther on" helped me immensely.
    The wording on this song is unbelievable and the line that "the angels are older" I take to mean that time passes but the memories have no time limit and simply stay the same forever.

I play a bit of guitar and sing for fun, and your songs have been a huge inspiration to me and others for whom your music touches. My son is the latest to become afflicted by the Jackson Browne addiction and I'm so happy that future generations can see your work for what it really is. My favourites are For Everyman and Late For The Sky, like two favourite books and masterpieces, which I'll cherish until I pass. Best wishes to you.

    I have loved this man like a brother since the early 1970's. It still amazes me that he can continue to write great music and lyrics over such a long career. He has been with me when I have faced life problems (divorce, death of a loved one etc) and continues to be my guide. Being only three years apart in age makes it even more real for me, he feels like an elder brother that I have never met. Because I live in the UK, I have only managed to see him live a few times; and the world being as it is presently, it is unlikely that I will get another chance to soak up and bask in his music live again. Age has not dealt kindly to me, though I cannot grumble - there are people worse off than I, but creatively, Jackson has maintained his ability to give the world beautiful music, for which I give thanks. Anyone who can write a line "don't confront me with my failures, I have not forgotten them" at the age of 17 years is a genius. Never stop giving Jackson. Peace and love.

It so captivated me that over the decades many, many JB albums have followed on into my collection, all continue to get regularly listened to and enjoyed. "Late For The Sky" was for me another outstanding collection of lyrics that continue to resonate to this day, in particular this track. 45 years Further On just hearing the intro makes me want to find a quiet place so I can just sit back and be moved once again by this song, I never tire of listening to it.
