Jackson Browne Chasing You Into Light Lyrics

Chasing You Into 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 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
