This Night

Paul Durham


there are things I have done
there's a place I have gone
there's a beast and I let it run
now it's running my way

there are things I regret
that you can't forgive, you can't forget
there's a gift that you sent
you sent it my way

so take this night
wrap it around me like a sheet
I know I'm not forgiven
but I need a place to sleep
so take this night
and lay me down on the street
I know I'm not forgiven
but I hope that I'll be given
some peace

there's a game that I played
there are rules I had to break
there's mistakes that I made
but I made them my way

so take this night
wrap it around me like a sheet
I know I'm not forgiven
but I need a place to sleep
so take this night
and lay me down on the street
I know I'm not forgiven
but I hope that I'll be given
some peace...
some peace
