The Times You've Come - Jackson Browne

In the time we've known 
That we each are a part of one another 
We've lost as much as we have won 
And as our lives have grown 
We have found that it only brings us pain 
That hangs on to the things that we have done 
Still I love the times you've come 

When you went away 
Taking all that I'd built my false road on 
I dropped my life and couldn't find the pieces 
Now you come and go 
And it's hard but I feel my strength returning 
We'll see how far this new road reaches 
We'll see a little more each time we come 

Now everybody's gonna tell you it's not worth it 
Everybody's gotta show you their own thing 
You might try to find your way up around it 
But the need for love will still remain 

Now we're lying here 
So safe in the ruins of our pleasures 
Laughter marks the place where we have fallen 
And our lives are near 
So it wouldn't occur to us to wonder 
Is this the past or the future that is calling 

You know I've loved these times you've come.
