One Too Many Mornings

Down the street the dogs are barking

And the day is a-gettin' dark

As the night comes in a-falling

The dogs will lose their barkAnd the silent night will shatter

From the thoughts inside my mind

And I'm one too many mornings

And a thousand miles behindAt the crossroads of my doorstep

My eyes they start to fade

And I turn my head back to the room

Where my love and I have laidAnd I gaze back to the street

The sidewalk and the sign

And I'm one too many mornings

And a thousand miles behindIt's a restless hungry feeling

That don't mean no one no good

When everything I'm saying

You can say it just as goodYou were right from your side

But I was right from mine

We're both just one too many mornings

And a thousand miles behind
