Lyrics Jackson Browne

Jackson Browne

Enough of the Night

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
