The Late Show Lyrics

Cover art for The Late Show lyrics by Jackson Browne

I know people say this all the time, but I really can't believe no one has commented on this song! It is so painfully honest at times, "No one ever talks about their feelings anyway Without dressing them in dreams and laughter I guess it's just too painful otherwise," but still tries to be positive. It's such a romantic song.

I used to think the end was kind of lame, but it really grows on you. It fits. I wonder if it is a real experience that he had at one time (because the subtle details sort of suggest it so) or if it is just him imagining?
