Jackson Browne – For A Dancer Lyrics 5 years ago
A great song that I just came upon again after wearing out the final on my Late for the Sky album way back when. Extra relevance to these coronavirus times. This songs often bring a tear to my eye but not because it’s a sad song. To the contrary:
Don’t let the uncertainty turn you around...
Go on and make a joyful sound...
Somewhere between the time you arrive
And the time you go
May lie a reason you were alive
That you’ll never know

That makes me feel so much better!

Jackson Browne – Late for the Sky Lyrics 6 years ago
@[BRUCErulz:32640] everyone pretty much got it. It’s heaven, the afterlife, spirituality, dreams etc. Compare to the first two stanzas of the The Road (physical life) and the Sky (the afterlife, etc) from the same album:

When we come to the place where the road and the sky collide
Throw me over the edge and let my spirit glide
They told me I was going to have to work for a living
But all I want to do is ride
I don't care where we're going from here
Honey, you decide

Well I spend my time at the bottom of a wishing well
And I can hear my dreams singing clear as a bell
I used to know where they ended and the world began
But now it's getting hard to tell
I could be just around the corner from heaven or a mile from hell
