Neale's tribute to Kristofferson, a songwriter he admired enough to meet and knows well enough to honor. The classic rendered with quiet intimacy. Sophie Buskin lends her voice.

Lyrics

Take the ribbon from your hair
Shake it loose and let it fall
Lay it soft against my skin
Like the shadows on the wall
Come and lay down by my side
Till the early morning light
All I’m askin’ is your time
Help me make it through the night
I don’t care what’s right or wrong
And I don’t try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow
‘Cause tonight I need a friend
Yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrow’s out of sight
And it’s sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night
I don’t care what’s right or wrong
And I won’t try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow
‘Cause tonight I need a friend
Yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrow’s out of sight
It’s so sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night
I don’t want to be alone
Help me make it through the night
