Take the ribbon from your hair,
Shake it loose and let it fall,
Layin´ 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 takin´ is your time.
Help me make it through the night.

I don´t care what´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.

I don´t care what´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.
Lord, it´s bad to be alone.
Help me make it through the night.
