Here comes the night

Here comes the night
It’s gonna be a long and lonely night
Oh lord, I pray it’s gonna be alright
Oh, this long and lonely night

As I walk on down this dusty road
My heart weighs down like a heavy load
My spirit finds its way across the ocean
And my soul cries out for leaving now
I’ve got to get back home somehow
She stole my heart, oh how my spirit cried
Cos I had to leave and it broke me up inside

Here comes the night
It’s gonna be a long and lonely night
But I’ll see tomorrow in a different light
Oh, this long and lonely night

I’ve got ….. hair, worn out shoes
A bottle of rum and as I sing the blues
The big wind sends shivers down my spine
I’m gonna ……… with a rambling mind
I left my loved one far behind
She stole my heart, oh how my spirit cried
Cos I had to leave and it broke me up inside

And here comes the night
It’s gonna be a long and lonely night
Oh lord, I pry it’s gonna be alright
Oh, this long and lonely night

Oh bless my soul, what have I done
I’m bound to face this world alone
The drifter I was meant to be
With no-one there for company
But if one day down the road I get
Would you look my way
Would you take me back again

Here comes the night
It’s gonna be a long and lonely night
But I’ll see tomorrow in a different light, oh yeah, yeah
Oh, this long and lonely, long and lonely night

Here comes the night
Here comes the night
Here comes the night
Oh, this long and lonely night
This long and lonely night

As my soul cries out for you, girl
