Enough Of The Night Lyrics by Jackson Browne

Enough Of The Night Lyrics

    You used to stand on the tables
    You used to shoot out the lights
    You used to stop trucks on i-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 receed
    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
    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"

    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
