Lonely is the night Lonely the days Aint nothin' been right Since you been took away Since you been took away Ain't nothing the same Everything's been wrong wrong wrong Since you done gone away He fell into a river of darkness And darkness pushed the boat He fell into the river of darkness And darkness took all hope The river is deep The river is cold Too late for sleep For this drowning soul Lonely is the night Helpless the days Nothin's been right Since you been took away Lonely is the night Helpless the days Nothin's been right Since you been put away
