Jackson Browne - Chasing You Into The Light lyrics

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 shakehear your cries

Running in the dark trying to open your eyes

Come on babywake up

I've followed you across the days and years

Been there for the thrills and the tears

Chasing you from state to state

WakingdreamingI 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 comeshard 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 girltell 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 deepthe 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
