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
