JACKSON BROWNE - Sleep's Dark & Silent Gate lyrics

rate me

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