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
