Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Day is done, night is returnin'
Icy black, the muddy waters
I've got to know, won't you please tell me?
Sinkin' like a stone, the icy waters
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Past the house where first they brought you
Carried you to sleep, protected from harm
And when they're gone, soon be returnin'
The ones you lived by, they found a foothold
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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, 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
