When the sun is going downnAnd the nighttime blots you eyesnAnd I don’t know where I amnWill you call me to your side?nnBaby I love you, and I want you to be alrightnMaybe I need you, honey, to help me through the nightnNobody tells you how to do itnNobody else is going through itnNobody else can understandnAnd I, I need you tonightnnWhen the rain is coming downnAnd the river flowing hardnAnd our love begins to drownnWill you pull me up somehow?nWill you pull me up somehow?nnBaby I love you, and I want you to be alrightnMaybe I need you, honey, to help me through the nightnNobody tells you how to do itnNobody else is going through itnNobody else can understandnAnd I, I need you tonightnnOh take me to the holy waternBaby, and baptize menLet me hear the singers singing, “We’ll shall be set free”nTake me to the Mississippi RivernBaby, and bury menIn the holy water there for all eternitynnBaby I love you, and I want you to be alrightnMaybe I need you, honey, to help me through the nightnNobody tells you how to do itnNobody else is going through itnNobody else can understandnAnd I, I need you tonightnI need you tonightnI need you tonightnI need you tonightnI need you tonight
