(Jackson Browne)
|
Lying next to you in the dark
|
Listening to your pounding heart
|
The sheets are tangled around your waist
|
I watch the dream moving on your face
|
Feel you shake, hear your cries
|
Running in the dark trying to open your eyes
|
Come on baby, wake up
|
|
I've followed you across the days and years
|
Been there for the thrills and the tears
|
Chasing you from state to state
|
Waking, dreaming, I try to relate
|
Why should I be somebody you fear
|
When you're asleep and I'm so near?
|
Don't even know why I'm in your dreams
|
I got control over none of these things
|
Morning comes, hard and bright
|
And I'm exhausted from running after you all night
|
Chasing you into the light
|
|
Yeah I've been reaching for you baby
|
As if I could reach you when you dream at night
|
But I never can quite
|
|
I ain't lying here awake by myself
|
You better wake up
|
There's something I want to talk to you about
|
You better wake up
|
I love you girl, tell the world I do
|
There's nothing I wouldn't do for you
|
I want to rescue you like you rescued me
|
From a life of doubt and uncertainty
|
That's why I'm chasing you
|
Chasing you into the light
|
|
Go for a walk on the pier with me baby
|
Now as the dawn comes over the night
|
Watching the stars in the sky disappear maybe
|
You'll find a way to let go of your fright
|
The sea is deep, the world is wide
|
Ships are leaving for the other side
|
This whole city will be waking soon
|
And in the east
|
Clouds are strung out behind the moon
|
Chasing her into the light
|
Wake up
|
