day is done, night is returning
icy black the muddy waters
I've got to know, won't you please tell me
sinking like a stone, the icy waters

each night when I go to bed I pray
take me with you when you go
each night when I go to bed I pray
take me with you when you go
each night when I go to bed I pray

past the house where first they brought you
carried you to sleep, protected from harm
and when they're gone, soon be returning
the ones you lived by, they found a foothold

each night when I go to bed I pray
take me with you when you go
each night when I go to bed I pray
take me with you when you go
each night when I go to bed I pray

like the sweet, sweet breeze that brought you
left by chance, broke down by your words
what did I know to ask you to leave me
evening will die upon my doorstep

each night when I do to bed I pray
take me with you when you go

each night when I go to bed I pray
