Take this ribbon from your hair, shake it loose and let it fall

Layn' soft upon your skin, like the shadow 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 through the night

I don't care what's right or wrong, I won'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

I don't want to be alone, help me make it through the night
