Lyrics
Take the ribbon from your hair Shake it loose and let it fall Layin’ soft upon my skin Like the shadows on the wall Come and lay down by my side ‘Til the early morning light All I’m takin’ is your time Help me make it through the night I don’t care who’s right or wrong I don’t try to understand Let the devil take tomorrow Lord, tonight, I need a friend Yesterday is dead and gone And tomorrow’s out of sight And it’s sad to be alone Help me make it through the night Lord, it’s sad to be alone Help me make it through the night Lord, it’s sad to be alone
