A Personal Take On Jackson Browne's "Enough of the Night"

[00:00:08] You used to stand on the tables. [00:00:11] You used to shoot out the lights. [00:00:15] You used to stop trucks on i19 in your blue leprechauns. [00:00:22] You got the vote of your high school. [00:00:26] Most likely to exceed but not likely to. You ever get enough? [00:00:34] Enough for what you need. [00:00:36] Enough for the night. [00:00:44] Enough for the night. [00:00:53] And now the carnival lights come down. [00:00:56] The sounds of laughter recede. [00:01:00] You sit and drink in this cardboard. [00:01:04] The past laying on to see. [00:01:08] You used to laugh about the damage done. [00:01:12] But there was no way to know. [00:01:15] How little distance you had actually come. [00:01:19] How far you'd have to go. [00:01:23] It's tough to do, baby. It's tough to make it. [00:01:27] Ooh, when the heart is naked. It's tough for you, baby. It's tough for me too. [00:01:36] All this pain to see you through. [00:01:40] Now I want to see you smile. You know how. [00:01:45] It's just been a while. Don't allow another night to close on your empty cup. You've had enough of those. [00:01:56] Enough for the night. [00:02:03] Enough for the night. [00:02:12] You used to count on the miracles. [00:02:16] The old shot in the dark. [00:02:20] You used to wait for the setting sun to help you hit your mark. [00:02:27] You used to stand on the tables. [00:02:31] You used to shoot out the lights. [00:02:34] You dress right out of the fables, baby. [00:02:39] Arabian nights. [00:02:42] But you were never the princess. [00:02:46] More like the queen of the thieves. [00:02:49] And my heart was never more than one of the many a queen receives. [00:02:57] It's tough to do, baby. It's tough to make it. [00:03:00] Ooh, when the heart is naked. It's tough for you, baby. It's tough for me too. [00:03:08] Without the disdain to see through. [00:03:14] Now I wanna see you smile. You know how. [00:03:19] It's just been a while. Don't oh, now. [00:03:22] Another night to pass beyond your reach. Hey, baby, not so fast. [00:03:29] Hey, baby, not so fast. [00:03:38] You've had enough of the night. [00:03:42] To fill the street with tears. [00:03:46] You've had enough of those empty hours. [00:03:49] To last a thousand years. [00:03:52] Enough for the night. [00:03:59] Enough for the night. [00:04:07] Enough of the night. [00:04:13] Enough of the tears.
