Take the ribbon from your hair
Shake it loose and let it fall
Lay it 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,
Let the devil take to morrow,
for tonight I need a friend.
Yesterday's 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 care who's right or wrong,
I won't try to un derstand
Let the devil take tomorrow,
for tonight I need a friend.
Yesterday's 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
