Take the ribbon from your head
Shake it loose and let it fall
Feel it soft against your skin,
like the shadows on the wall.
Come and lay down by my side
Until the early morning light
All I'm asking 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,
for tonight I need a friend.
Yesterday is dead and gone,
and tomorrow's out of sight
help me make it through the night
I don't care what's right or wrong
And 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
help me make it through the night
All I'm asking is your time
Help me make it through the night
