Take the ribbons from your hair shake it loose and let it fall Laying soft against my skin like the shadows on the wall Come and lay down by my side till the early morning light All I'm taking 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 [ strings ] And it's sad to be alone help me make it through the night And it's sad to be alone help me make it through the night
