Enough of The Night - Jackson Browne
You used to stand on the tables You used to shoot out the lights You used to stop trucks on aisle 19 In your blue leopard tights You got the vote of your high school Most likely to exceed But not likely to ever get enough Enough of what you need Enough of the night Enough of the night And now the carnival lights come down The sounds of laughter recede You sit and drink in this cardboard town The fast lane gone to seed You used to laugh about the damage done But there was no way to know How little distance you had actually come And how far you'd have to go It's tough to do baby, it's tough to make it When the heart is naked It's tough for you baby, it's tough for me too Without all this pain to see through Now I want to see you smile You know how it's just been awhile Don't allow another night to close On your empty cup, you've had enough of those Enough of the night Enough of the night You used to count on the miracles The old shot in the dark You used to wait for the setting sun To help you hit your mark You used to stand on the tables You used to shoot out the lights You dressed right out of the fables, baby Like the Arabian Nights But you were never the princess More like the queen of the thieves And my heart was never more than one of the many A queen receives It's tough to do baby, it's tough to make it When the heart is naked It's tough for you baby, it's tough for me too Without this disdain to see through Now, I want to see you smile You know how, it's just been awhile Don't allow another heart to pass Beyond your reach, say baby not so fast, hey baby not so fast You've had enough of the night To fill the street with tears You've had enough of those empty hours To last a thousand years Enough of the night Enough of the tears Enough of the night Enough of the tears Enough of the night Enough of tears She got enough of the night She had enough of the tears, baby She had enough of night She got enough of, had enough of the night She got enough of, bop bop baby You got enough of night You had enough of tears, bop bop bop She got enough of
