Jackson Browne - Linda Paloma Lyrics






At the moment the music began
And you heard the guitar player starting to sing
You were filled with the beauty that ran
Through what you were imagining
Dreaming of scenes from those songs of love
I was the endless sky
And you were my Mexican dove

Now the music that played in your ears
Grows a little bit fainter each day
And you find yourself looking through tears
At the love you feel slipping away
Though it's not the kind
Of love you might hope to find
If tears could release the heart
From the shadows preferred by the mind

Like a wind that comes up in the night
Caressing your face while you sleep
Love will fill your eyes with the sight
Of a world you can't hope to keep
Dreaming on after that moment's gone
The light in your lover's eyes
Disappears with the light of the dawn

But the morning brings
Strength to your restless wings
And some other lover sings
To the sun's bright corona
I know all about these things
Linda Paloma
Fly away
Linda Paloma

  1. I.... F....

    My Aunt got stabbed in the eye by a prostitute

    I was a late comer to Jackson Browne say 2007 or so, years after The Pretender. Later noticed this one to feed my Mexican Mariachi appetite... Sort of like a better Taco Bell taco instead of a traditional TEX-MEX Taco or for that matter, a Mexico/Texas boarder town vender's cuisine. Browne'v vocal holds true on this one.

  3. P.... W....

    Easily in the Top 6 of Jackson's songs - just beautiful .

  4. D.... N....

    not to dilute these completely appropriate praises for this song at all...BUT there is a live version of this with Jackson and David Lindley on YouTube that will stand up close to this version I highly recommend. Mr Lindley's guitar is so unique and phenomenal; I have no idea how he makes that sound. here's the link https://youtu.be/XKzRACN6-g8?t=85

  5. m.... p....

    you can't hardly get this in 8-track anymore.

    “...If tears could release the heart from the shadows preferred by the mind...”

    F.... V....

  7. D.... S....

    Spanish Armada!! This Song is perfect!! I would like to say a Classical hidden Gem.

  8. M.... W....

    My Mexican dove

  9. F.... A....

    Ese estilo de harpa es 100% guarania por donde se lo escuche. La canción está acreditada con estilo mariachi pero nadie me va a contradecir que el sonido y estilo de esa harpa es guarania. Habría que investigar más sobre esta canción.

    F.... A....

    Para nada, México también tiene tradición con el harpa

  10. L.... C....

    What inspired him to do this I knew he grew up in LA was this is connection to the Mexican community very well done thank you sir...

  11. a.... v....

    OMG this song is great. Remember this album from growing up. My Mom's had this and Linda Ronstadt album with "Blue Bayou" on it. I remember those were probably the only non-Mexican albums. love this album.

    I'm attempting to write a movie script about this song. Early premise involves undercover LAPD in 1979 and Burningman 2010.
