JACKSON BROWNE - The Night Inside Me lyrics

rate me

I used to lay out in a field under the Milky Way

With everything that I was feeling that I could not say

With every doubt and every sorrow that was in my way

Tearing around inside my head like it was there to stay

Night in my eyes, the night inside me

There where the shadows and the night could hide me

Night in my eyes

Sky full of stars turning over me

Waiting for night to set me free

I caught a ride into the city every chance I got

I wasn't sure there was a name for the life I sought

Now I'm a long way gone down the life I got

I don't know how I believed some of the things I thought

Night in my eyes, the night inside me

Here where the shadows gather to decide me

Night in my eyes

Out at the end of light and gravity

Waiting for night

It takes the night to clear all of this mess away

The obligation, the burden and the light of day

It takes the night to fall between the world I obey

And a world where I hear angels play

Maybe I should go back to Spain

I walk around inside the questions of my day

I navigate the inner reaches of my disarray

I pass the altars where fools and thieves hold sway

I wait for night to come and lift this dread away

Night in my eyes, the night inside me

Here where the shadows and the light divide me

Night in my eyes

Night full of promise and uncertainty

Waiting for night to set me free
