all night lady

through the window he sits watching his last sunset, like a blackout curtain closing out the light, it's now he needs someone's arms around him, yes it's now he needs someone to help him through the night, an all night lady, one who loves me, and won't leave me when daylight comes, one who'll stay with me until my life is done, at 9 am they're going to lead him to the death-house, and at 10 am they'll lay his soul to rest, i can see them giving him his last supper, i can hear him giving them his last request, an all night lady, one who loves me, and won't leave me when daylight comes, one who'll stay with me until my life is done, one who'll stay with me until my life is done
