Take the ribbons from your hair
Shake it loose and let it fall
Lay it soft against you skin
Like the shadows on the wall

Come and lay here by my side
Tell the Earth upon you lied
All I'm takin' is your time
Help me make it through the night

I don't know what's right or wrong
I don't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow
'Cause tonight I need a drink

Yesterday's dead and gone
And tomorrow's out of sight
Yes, it saddenss me long
Help me make it through the night

Yes, it saddenss me long....
Help me make it through the night


Take the ribbon from my hair
Shake it loose and let it fall
Layin' soft against your skin
Like the shadow on the wall
Come and lay down by my side
Till the early mornin' light
All I'm takin' is your time
Help me make it through the night

I don't care what's right or wrong
'n' I won'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

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
