Lyrics:

Take the ribbon from your hair
shake it loose and let it fall
playing soft against your skin
like the shadows 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 whats right or wrong
I don't try to understand
let the devil take tomorrow
'cause tonight I need a friend

Yesterday is dead and gone
and tomorrow's out of sight
and its sad to be alone
help me make it through the night
I don't wanna be alone
help me make it through the night

Tab/Chords: Available upon request.
