Sit beside me baby There's a bad wind blowing tonight Just want to sit here in the darkness So please turn out the light I shuttered all the windows Pulled down all the shades I pray the angels don't come calling For the mistakes that I have made Where is my Johnny Is he afraid and all alone When will this be over When will he be safe at home This old house seems so empty Since our boy has gone away I keep a date book by his picture And I count off all the days Father can you hear me Mother Mary full of grace Walk beside him and protect him Won't you please help keep him safe Hold on everybody Hold on to your livers Hold on to your family Ain't it good to be alive
