Take the ribbon from your hair shake it loose and let it fall

Laying soft upon 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 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

And it's sad to be alone help me make it through the night

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
