take the ribbon from your hair
shake it loose and let it fall
lay it soft upon your skin
like the shadow on the wall
hey, come on lay down by my side
in the early morning light
all I'm asking is your time
help me make it through the night

I don't care who's right or wrong
I don't try to understand
let the devil take tomorrow
'cause tonight I need a friend

yesterday is dead and gone
and tomorrow's out of sight
all I'm asking is your time
help me make it through the night

I don't care who's right or wrong
I don't try to understand
let the devil take tomorrow
'cause tonight I need a friend

yesterday is dead and gone
and tomorrow's out of sight
all I'm asking is your time
help me make it through the night
help me make it through the night
