Lyrics:

Take the ribbon from your hair,
Shake it lose and let it fall,
Layin´ soft upon my skin,
Like the schadows 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 throgh the night.
