Here Comes the Night

Here comes the night
(here comes the night)
It's gonna be a long and lonely night
(here comes the night)
Oh Lord, I pray it's gonna be alright
(here comes the night)
This long and lonely night

As I walk down this dusty road
My heart weights down like a heavy load
My spirit finds its way across the ocean

And my soul cries out for leaving now
I have got to get back home somehow
She stole my heart, oh how my spirit cried
Cause I had to leave and it broke me up inside

Here comes the night
(here comes the night)
It's gonna be a long and lonely night
(here comes the night)
I see tomorrow in a different light
(here comes the night)
This long and lonely night

I've got a weary head and worn out shoes
A bottle of rum and as I sing the blues
The bitter wind sends shivers down my spine
I'm a ramblin' man with a ramblin' mind
I left my loved ones far behind
She stole my heart, oh how my spirit cried
Cause I had to leave and it broke me up inside

Here comes the night
(here comes the night)
It's gonna be a long and lonely night
(here comes the night)
Oh Lord, I pray it's gonna be alright
(here comes the night)
This long and lonely night

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

Here comes the night
(here comes the night)
It's gonna be a long and lonely night
(here comes the night)
Oh Lord, I pray it's gonna be alright
(here comes the night)
This long and lonely... long and lonely night

(here comes the night)
Oh baby alright
(here comes the night)
Gonna be alright

This long and lonely night
This long and lonely night
Lonely night
As my soul cries out for leaving
