Sleep’s Dark and Silent Gate

[Chorus]
Sometimes I lie awake at night and wonder
Where my life will lead me
Waiting to pass under sleep's dark and silent gate

[Verse 1]
I found my love too late
Running around day after day
Looking for the time to play
While my old friends slipped away

[Verse 2]
Never should have 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 never tried

[Verse 3]
(Sitting down by the highway)
Looking down the road
(Waiting for a ride)
I don't know where I've been
(Wishing I could fly away)
Don't know where I'm going
(Wishing I could hide)
Oh God this is some shape I'm in
When the only thing that makes me cry
Is the kindness in my baby's eye

[Chorus]
Sometimes I lie awake at night and wonder
Where the years have gone
They have all passed under
Sleep's dark and silent gate
