Down the street the dogs are barkin' |
|
And the day is a-gettin' dark. |
|
As the night comes in a-fallin', |
|
The dogs 'll lose their bark. |
|
An' the silent night will shatter |
|
From the sounds inside my mind, |
|
For i'm one too many mornings |
|
And a thousand miles behind. |
|
|
|
From the crossroads of my doorstep, |
|
My eyes they start to fade, |
|
As i turn my head back to the room |
|
Where my love and i have laid. |
|
An' i gaze back to the street, |
|
The sidewalk and the sign, |
|
And i'm one too many mornings |
|
An' a thousand miles behind. |
|
|
|
It's a restless hungry feeling |
|
That don't mean no one no good, |
|
When ev'rything i'm a-sayin' |
|
You can say it just as good. |
|
You're right from your side, |
|
I'm right from mine. |
|
We're both just too many mornings |
|
An' a thousand miles behind. |
