Take the ribbon

From your hair

Shake it loose

And let it fall

Lay it soft

Against my skin

Like the shadows

On the wall

Come and lay down

By my side

'Til 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

I won't try

To understand

Let the devil

Take tomorrow

But tonight

'Cause 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

I don't want

To sleep alone

Help me make it

Through the night
