Listen up, this is how the story goes

Here comes the night 
(Here comes the night)
It's gonna be a long and lonely night
(Here comes the night)
Oh Lord, I pray it's gonna be alright
(Here comes the night)
Oh, this long and lonely night

As I walk down this dusty road
My heart weights down like a heavy load
My spirit finds its way across the ocean

And my soul cries out for leaving now
I have got to get back home somehow
She stole my heart, oh how my spirit cried
Cause I had to leave and it broke me up inside

Here comes the night 
(Here comes the night)
It's gonna be a long and lonely night
(Here comes the night)
Oh Lord, I pray it's gonna be alright
(Here comes the night)
Oh, this long and lonely night

I've got a weary head and worn out shoes
A bottle of rum and as I sing the blues,
The bitter wind sends shivers down my spine

I'm a ramblin' man with a ramblin' mind
I left my loved ones far behind
She stole my heart, oh how my spirit cried
Cause I had to leave and it broke me up inside

Here comes the night 
(Here comes the night)
It's gonna be a long and lonely night
(Here comes the night)
Oh Lord, I pray it's gonna be alright
(Here comes the night)
Oh, this long and lonely night


Oh, bless my soul, what have I done?
I'm bound to face this world alone
A drifter I was meant to be
With no one there for company
But if one day down the road I can,
Would you look my way,
Would you take me back again?

Here comes the night 
(Here comes the night)
It's gonna be a long and lonely night
(Here comes the night)
I see tomorrow in a different light
(Here comes the night)
Oh, this long and lonely, long and lonely night

This long and lonely night
This long and lonely night
