Take the ribbon 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 what'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 is out of sight

And it's bad to be alone

Help me make it through the night
