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
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
Oh Lord, I pray it's gonna be alright
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 leavingToday I saw him he looked away as if I was onto him
His eyes were on it drove away with guilt on his shoulders
Today I saw her she looked at me as if it was over
Her eyes so modest walked away like I didn't know her
And it's never too late to walk on home
And it's never too late to walk on
This time he got away tomorrow there's another day coming
Today before him watched this world fall without notice
And it's never too late to walk on home
And it's never too late to call on
Today just like any other day
If I get by today
Today feels like every other day
I will get by today
And it's never too late to call on home
And it's never too late to walk on home
And it's never too late to call on home
And it's never too late to walk on
Today just like any other day
I will get by today
Today just like any other day
I will get by today
Today just like every other day
I will get by today
