    Lyrics:
    Keep a fire burning in your eye
    Pay attention to the open sky
    You never know what will be coming down
    I don't remember losing track of you
    You were always dancing in and out of view
    I must have thought you'd always be around
    Always keeping things real by playing the clown
    Now you're nowhere to be found
    I don't know what happens when people die
    Can't seem to grasp it as hard as I try
    It's like a song I can hear playing right in my ear
    That I can't sing
    But I can't help listening
    And I can't help feeling stupid standing 'round
    Crying as they ease you down
    'Cause I know that you'd rather we were dancing
    Dancin' our sorrow away
    Right on, dancin'
    There's nothing you can do about it anyway
    Just do the steps that you've been shown
    By everyone you've ever known
    Until the dance becomes your very own
    No matter how close to yours
    Another's steps have grown
    In the end there is one dance you'll do alone
    Keep a fire for the human race
    Let your prayers go drifting into space
    You never know what will be coming down
    Perhaps a better world is drawing near
    And just as easily it could all disappear
    Along with whatever meaning you might have found
    Don't let the uncertainty turn you around
    Go on and make a joyful sound
    Into a dancer you have grown
    From a seed somebody else has thrown
    Go on ahead and throw some seeds of your own
    And somewhere between the time you arrive
    And the time you go
    May lie the reason you were alive
    But you'll never know

    Hi James, I really think that you shine when sing Jackson Browne tunes... It's magical! Definitely appreciate your talent! There's no one like you out there! I love your old country songs too! Somehow they both work beautifully and you own them! Your sound reaches to the Soul James! I've rarely felt anything like it from a singer And to fully appreciate your work one must experience all sides of your talent, or they will never be able to fully comprehend what it is you do, skies the limit, no boundaries, you're amazing! Your loyal fan~Christy Denise~best of luck and please continue to do your magic for us!

    I love all of your music, in knowing since I first saw one of your videos in 2006-2007 and was hooked. I never watch home videos but for some odd reason I started looking at your song choices and couldn't help take a listen........I am so very proud of all of your accomplishments and getting the much deserved attention of a true great artist. I have bought all of your albums in an effort to support you and will continue to do so! I know I'll get to see you live someday, and totally love you version "Long Way to Richmond, because I live on the Eastern Shore of Virginia and think bring yourself to RICHMOND and I'll make that 3 hour journey no problem. Keep up the great work and don't let them change anything about you! You are loved and appreciated. This, video For a Dancer is one of my absolute favorite songs ever and if Jackson isn't doing it no one else shoul do but YOU! Love and much success from the ES of Virginia!
