Take the ribbon from the hair, shake it loose and let it fall Lay it soft against your 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 And it's sad to be alone, help me make it through the night I don't wanna be alone, help me make it through the night
