lyrics:

In the calling out to one another

Of the lovers up and down the strand

In the sound of the waves and the cries

Of the seagulls circling the sand

In the fragments of the songs

Carried down the wind from some radio

In the murmuring of the city in the distance

Ominous and low

I hear the sound of the world where we played

And the far too simple beauty

Of the promises we made

If you ever need holding

Call my name, Ill be there

If you ever need holding

And no holding back, Ill see you through

Sky blue and black

Where the touch of the lover ends

And the soul of the friend begins

Theres a need to be separate and a need to be one

And a struggle neither wins

Where you gave me the world I was in

And a place I could make a stand

I could never see how you doubted me

When Id let go of your hand

Yeah, and I was much younger then

And I must have thought that I would know

If things were going to end

And the heavens were rolling

Like a wheel on a track

And our sky was unfolding

And itll never fold back

Sky blue and black

And Id have fought the world for you

If I thought that you wanted me to

Or put aside what was true or untrue

If Id known thats what you needed

What you needed me to do

But the moment has passed by me now

To have put away my pride

And just come through for you somehow

If you ever need holding

Call my name, Ill be there

If you ever need holding

And no holding back, Ill see you through

Youre the color of the sky

Reflected in each store-front window pane

Youre the whispering and the sighing

Of my tires in the rain

Youre the hidden cost and the thing thats lost

In everything I do

Yeah and Ill never stop looking for you

In the sunlight and the shadows

And the faces on the avenue

Thats the way love is

Thats the way love is

Thats the way love is

Sky blue and black

This guy shows what true talent really is - I hate when bands play live usually because they just sound like crap! But this guy here...oh my goodness...I went to his concert wayyyyy back in the day in Jacksonville and man-oh-man, he gave me chills! He sung beautifully! Best concert of my life! His music is so bittersweet, as it reminds me of when my husband and I were so young and free 25 years ago, and how much fun it was when he and I first met, had our first son, bought our first home, had another baby boy, and another baby boy, and another boy, and another boy. lol We just adopted two girls! ;) I love Jackson Browne!!! Greatest artist ever!

I love everything about this man. His ability to write some of the most heartfelt and meaningful lyrics, his incredible voice and his talent on the piano. This is my favorite of his songs. I love all the lyrics to this song, but I find the following lyrics to mean so much -"......If you ever need holding, call my name and I'll be there,If you ever need holding, and no holding back, I'll see you through."There are few things in this life that mean more than to know you have someone so special in your life who would be there for you no matter what. To be considered this person's "Friend" should be considered an honor. We tend to refer to people we simply know, as our "friends". We give that treasured title away far to easily. A genuine friend is a true gift a lot of people never have. They are a rare breed and should you discover that you do in fact have one, count your blessings.

This is an incredibly beautiful and profound song. His voice joined with his brilliant talent on the piano is so moving. He easily moves this listener to tears with this very heartfelt performance.. There is no better compliment I could possibly give him. To move people with music the way this man does is a special gift that he shares with us. And we are ever so grateful that he has done so for all these decades.
