And I see

Jackson Browne · Unreleased [1998]

Just like a leaf that's just been rained on

Something of a cloud above, a soon-awaking sun

And I see the day has just begun

Feeling windblown, reeling

I have grown out of my time

And like a circle casting shadows

Rolling over growing clover fields so far below

And I see I've just begun to grow

Climbing, spinning, rhyming

I am pinning down my time

And like a river flowing seaward

Bounding down, surrounding things that have puzzled me before

And I see the ever-open door

Flirting pure love, certainly

I'm sure of what I know

Just like a leaf that's just been rained on

Something of a cloud above, a soon-awaking sun

And I see the day has just begun

Feeling windblown, reeling

I have grown out of my time

And I see
