Something Fine Lyrics by Jackson Browne

Something Fine

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 its 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
