Browne Jackson Enough Of The Night Lyrics

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
