There's a cold wind howlin' at the trailer door
And the wolf that's been scratchin'
Is coming back for more
This quilt that Mama gave us
Is the only thing between us
And the sunrise
And I don't want to see the light
No, I don't want to see the light

I don't want to see the light of day
Just this once
Will you make it go away
Take this burden from me
Oh, tomorrow will keep
I don't want to see the light of day

'Cause there are bills on the table and they're overdue
And these dreams we've been chasing
Well, they're far from coming true
Oh, I'm not scared of tomorrow
I just need a little more of tonight
And I don't want to see the light
No, I don't want to see the light

I don't want to see the light of day
Just this once
Will you make it go away
Take this burden from me
Oh, tomorrow will keep
I don't want to see the light of day

Oh, take this burden from me
Oh, tomorrow will keep
I don't want to see the light of day
I don't want to see the light of day
