Of Missing Persons - Jackson Browne

[00:00.68]Of Missing Persons - Jackson Browne
[00:20.4]Your father was a rounder
[00:25.12]He played that rock and roll
[00:30.15]A leaper and a bounder
[00:34.79]Down to his gypsy soul
[00:39.73]The music was his angel
[00:44.73]And sorrow was his star
[00:49.64]And those of us who follow
[00:54.18]Might hope to reach as far
[00:59.41]They're walking slow in Houston
[01:04.5]Speechless in D C
[01:09.13]There's no way I could tell you
[01:12.75]What he meant to me
[01:19.42]Your mother's a survivor
[01:23.83]She'll do what must be done
[01:28.75]Her children will revive her
[01:33.58]And help her see the sun
[01:38.4]She almost knew that unison
[01:43.58]But the singing stopped too soon
[01:48.25]Now she shares the silence
[01:53.16]With a man up in the moon
[01:58.42]To speak of missing persons
[02:03.09]Tonight there's only one
[02:07.5]And we all carry with us what the man's begun
[02:15.64]And you can sing this song
[02:21.11]On July the fourth
[02:25.44]In the sunny South and the frozen North
[02:35.27]It's a day of loss it's your day of birth
[02:44.79001]Does it take a death to learn what a life is worth
[02:54.65]Your brothers are all older
[02:59.42]And they'll take it in their stride
[03:04.11]The world's a little colder
[03:09.04]But manhood's on their side
[03:14.15]Now you're the little girl child
[03:19.2]And you look so much like him
[03:24.01]And he's right there inside you
[03:28.64]Each time you want to sing
[03:33.98]Sing of missing persons
[03:38.69]Tonight there's only one
[03:43.25]But he's where you can find him when it's said and done
[03:51.51]And we will sing this song
[03:56.33]On July the fourth
[04:01.02]From the sunny South and the frozen North
[04:10.57]This will always be your day of birth
[04:20.15]May you always see what your life is worth
[05:27.54]Sing a song on July the fourth
[05:35.07]In the sunny South and the frozen North
[05:44.8]It's a day of loss it's your day of birth
