Lyrics Bonnie Raitt

Bonnie Raitt

Sleep's Dark and Silent Gate

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 today

Runnin' round day after day

Lookin' for the time to play

While my old friends, they slipped away

Never should've 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'd never tried

Sittin' down by the highway

I don't know where I've been

I don't know where I'm going

Oh God, this is some kind of shape I'm in

When the only thing that makes me cry

Is the kindness in my baby's eyes

Sometimes I lie awake at night and wonder

Where the years have gone

They have all passed under

Sleep's dark and silent gate

I found my love today

I found my love today

I found my love today

Don't know where I'm goin'

Don't know where I've been
