Browne Jackson Unloved Lyrics

Unloved Lyrics

(performed by Jann Arden and Jackson Browne from her album Living Under June)

 

 There will be no consolation prize

 this time the bone is broken clean

 no baptism, no reprise and no sweet taste of victory

 All the stars have fallen from the sky

 And everything else in between

 Satellites have closed their eyes

 The moon has gone to sleep

 Unloved... unloved... unloved... unloved...

 

 Here I am inside a hotel

 Choking on a million words I said

 Cigarettes have burned a hole

 And dreams are drunk and penniless

 Here I am inside my father's arms

 All jagged bone and whisky dry

 Whisper to me sweetly now and tell me I will never die

 Unloved... unloved... unloved... unloved

 

 Here I am an empty hallway

 broken window, rainy night

 I am nineteen sixty-two and I am ready for a fight

 People crying hallelujah

 While the bullet leaves the gun

 People falling, falling, falling

 And I don't know where they're falling from

 Unloved... unloved... unloved... unloved

 

 Hoping that the kindness will lead us

 Past the blindnes and

 Not another living soul

 Will ever have to feel

 Unloved... unloved... unloved... unloved

 Unloved... unloved...
