Listen up, this is how the story goes |
|
Here comes the night |
|
It's gonna be a long and lonely night |
|
Oh Lord, I pray it's gonna be alright |
|
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 |
|
It's gonna be a long and lonely night |
|
I see tomorrow in a different light |
|
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 |
|
It's gonna be a long and lonely night |
|
Oh Lord, I pray it's gonna be alright |
|
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 noone 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 |
|
It's gonna be a long and lonely night |
|
Oh Lord, I pray it's gonna be alright |
|
This long and lonely night |
|
As my souls cries out for leaving |
