[Verse 1]
There's a man outside my door collecting sins
And he's waiting for the calm to settle in
And my past hangs like a shadow on the wall
Is this the last time before I take the fall
[Pre-Chorus]
That's why I walk the line
That's why I walk the line
That's why I walk the line
That's why I walk the line
[Chorus]
Night prayer with my soul to keep
Night prayer before I go to sleep
Night prayer wash away the dirt
Night prayer take away the hurt
[Verse 2]
And the hour's getting late
And the clock ticks time to call
And the darkness as a witness to it all
If temptation comes disguised as love again
Tell me he who rises can work it from within
[Pre-Chorus]
That's why I walk the line
That's why I walk the line
That's why I walk the line
That's why I walk the line
[Chorus]
Night prayer with my soul to keep
Night prayer before I go to sleep
Night prayer wash away the dirt
Night prayer take away the hurt
[Bridge]
This man keeps walking by himself
Why do you think that is
This man keeps talking to himself
Why do you think that is
[Chorus]
Oh night prayer for my soul to keep
Night prayer before I go to sleep
Night prayer wash away the dirt
Night prayer take away the hurt
[Chorus]
Night prayer for my soul to keep
Night prayer before I go to sleep
Night prayer wash away the dirt
Night prayer take away the hurt
Take away the hurt
[Chorus]
Night prayer for my soul to keep
Night prayer before I go to sleep
Night prayer wash away the dirt
Night prayer take away the hurt
[Chorus]
Night prayer for my soul to keep
Night prayer before I go to sleep
Night prayer wash away the dirt
Night prayer take away the hurt
Take away the hurt
[Chorus]
Night prayer for my soul to keep
Night prayer before I go to sleep
Night prayer wash away the dirt
Night prayer take away the hurt
