I watched as the lights went down on Main Street
And all the bootstrap people fled in tears
When summer comes we'll dance again, oh yes we will
But the moistened heat could not subside our fears

So take now my soul
Just get me through to tomorrow
Take now my soul
Carry me through Lord, I'm comin' home

I've been through times when the desert got the best of me
And loneliness became my only friend
Now here we are in isolated dissonance
With some among us longing for the end

So take now my soul
Just get me through to tomorrow
Take now my soul
Carry me through Lord, I'm comin'

Take now my soul
Just get me through to tomorrow
Take now my soul
Carry me through Lord, I'm comin' home
