Please Take This Blanket From Me

Please take this blanket from me For I'm young and you are old, And wrap yourself within it To protect you from the cold, 'Though it's all I have within this world You need it more than I, So take it now my gift to you And do not question why. I'll see you in the morning If we make it through the night, It's time for us to get some rest For soon it shall be light, We'll sleep within this doorway For we've nowhere else to go, And shelter from the bitter wind That does so cruelly blow. The moon does shine, the stars are clear The winter snow lies deep, Two lonely souls without a home Nor bed in which to sleep, Now lying here together On this filthy slab of stone, I'm glad I found a friend this night So I'll not be alone.
