Come and lay down gently beside me,
I will weave my words for you.
Whatever you need is what I’ll be.
Let me ask one thing from you:
Don’t leave me alone after dark.
Don’t leave me cold, that ain’t right.
Don’t pull the net out when I’m falling down.
Don’t leave me alone in the night.
I’ve tried laughing and I’ve tried drinking.
They both dry me out the same.
All I’ve got left is being wanted,
having someone who knows my name.
Don’t leave me alone after dark.
Don’t leave me cold, that ain’t right.
Don't turn the light out when I'm coming home.
Don’t leave me alone in the night.
So come and lay down, gently remind me
that I don’t need to feel so blue.
I can’t remember ever being lonesome
whenever I’m near to you.
