Jackson Browne — Sleeps Dark and Silent Gate

[Chorus] Sometimes I lie awake at night and wonder Where my life will lead me Waiting to pass under sleep's dark and silent gate [Verse 1] I found my love too late Running around day after day Looking for the time to play While my old friends slipped away [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 3] (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 [Chorus] Sometimes I lie awake at night and wonder Where the years have gone They have all passed under Sleep's dark and silent gate
