That cold, cold night you left me crying
The thunder struck down just for me
Rattling the walls of my lonely room
At the end of the road where you left me

Now the lonely warm place was at the bottom of the bottle
That used to sing when it touched my lips
Now its only song holds a bitter tune
That gets darker with every sip

Oh Lord, won't you show me the way back?
Oh Lord, won't you show me the way?

'Cause I'm waiting for another sunrise
I'm so tired now but I can't close my eyes
And the night is colder without you by my side
Is it this forever, will it be this way forever?
Oh lord, oh lord

Give me hope, give me strength
Give me what I need to mend
Give me back what I had
Don't make me go back there again
Give me patience, give me truth
Give me back the years of my youth
Take me from the dark to the light
And hold on to me so tight
Don't give up on me now
'Cause you're all that I have
Oh Lord, won't you show me the way back?
Oh Lord, won't you show me the way?

'Cause I'm waiting for another sunrise
I'm so tired now but I can't close my eyes
And the night is colder without you by my side
Is it this forever, will it be this way forever?
Oh Lord, oh Lord
