Sleep's Dark & Silent Gate Lyrics - Jackson Browne

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 shoulda 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 eyes 

Photos 

Sometimes I lie awake at night and wonder 

Where the years have gone 

They have all passed under 

Sleep's dark and silent gate
