Jackson Browne Something Fine Lyrics

Something Fine Lyrics

The papers lie there helplessly
In a pile outside the door
I`ve tried and tried, but I just can`t remember what they`re for
The world outside is tugging like a beggar at my sleeve
Oh, that`s much too old a story to believe

And you know that it`s taken its share of me
Even though you take such good care of me
Now you say "Morocco" and that makes me smile
I haven`t seen Morocco in a long, long while
The dreams are rolling down across the places in my mind
And I`ve just had a taste of something fine

The future hides and the past just slides
England lies between
Floating in a silver mist so cold and so clean
California`s shaking like an angry child will
Who has asked for love and is unanswered still

And you know that I`m looking back carefully
ÔCause I know that there`s still something there for me
But you said "Morocco" and you made me smile
And it hasn`t been that easy for a long, long while
And looking back into your eyes I saw them really shine 
Giving me a taste of something fine
Something fine

Now if you see Morocco I know you`ll go in style
I may not see Morocco for a little while
But while you`re there I was hoping you might keep it in your mind
To save me just a taste of something fine
