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

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 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
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
