Lyrics to Help Me (Full Version)

Lyrics to the song Help Me as recorded by Bryan Ferry.

(Ferry/Rogers)

I'm a stranger far from home, won't you help me
Gotta find where I belong, help me
I don't wanna be alone, won't you help me
Gotta find the way to home, help me

I'm a prisoner to the night
Life is hell in the light of the day
But where do I hide from myself
The shadow closes in
There's a power in love
There's a danger in love
But I need love to help me find a way

I'm a stranger far from home, won't you help me
Gotta find where I belong, help me
I'm a victim of the night
Sold my soul, is it never gonna pay?
I beg you now, save me from myself
Time is closing in
There's a power in love
There's danger in love
But I need love to help me find the way

I'm a stranger far from home, won't you help me
Gotta find where I belong, help me
'Cause I don't wanna be alone, don't wanna be
Gotta find a way to home, help me

Bricks without a mortar
Tearing me apart
It turns up to down
The night time into day
Wake me in the morning
Tell me from the heart
That I need love to help me find a way

I'm a stranger far from home, help me
Gotta find where I belong, help me
'Cause I don't wanna be alone, I don't wanna be
Gotta find a way to home, help me
