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 leaving
