Sleep’s dark and silent gate – Jackson Browne (Album: The Pretender)
Intro:
| | / | | |
Sometimes I lie awake at night and wonder
/
Where my life will lead me
Waiting to pass under Sleep's dark and silent gate
I found my love too late
Running around day after day
/
Looking for the time to play
/ /
While my old friends slipped away
Never should have had to try so hard
To make a love work out, I guess
I don't know what love has got to do with happiness
But the times when we were happy
/
Were the times we never tried
Sitting down by the highway
Looking down the road
Waiting for a ride
I don't know where I've been
Wishing I could fly away
Don't know where I'm going
Wishing I could hide
Oh God this is some shape I'm in
When the only thing that makes me cry
Is the kindness in my baby's eye
Sometimes I lie awake at night and wonder
/
Where the years have gone
They have all passed under
Sleep's dark and silent gate
