The Night Inside Me Lyrics

Lyric discussion by MMMerry 

Cover art for The Night Inside Me lyrics by Jackson Browne

This is a tidy bit of writing. Jackson? You are so cool.

Each quatrain with a pure rhyme scheme (A-A-A-A) with a stressed (masculine) ending. Refrain/Chorus (what you call it depends on whether your background is in classical or popular music) is five lines of pure rhyme, but a feminine ending (nonstressed).

Please don't get hung up on the masculine/feminine stresses if this is new to you. Just standard poetic terms.

I think this is just a brilliant lyric,and the tune carries it well.
