One of these cold lonesome mornings
You're gonna kill me
I'm gonna lay there
And I'm gonna die
You will soon give me pain
Enough to fill me
Cause I'm gone past doing
Any good to cry
And the warm sunshine
Is like a stranger
There's a cruel violation
With the dawn
Lord, my pain can't stand
Illumination
And one of these cold lonesome mornings
I'll be gone
One of these cold lonesome mornings
Dark and early
Before a wild bird sings
I'm gonna fly
While it's still dark
And I'm still reaching for you
I'll wake up
And I can't cry
But I know my heart can't stand
Another tremor
How it's holding together
I don't know
But just before the dawning's
First glimmer
One of these cold lonesome mornings
I'm gonna go
Yes, one of these cold lonesome mornings
You're gonna kill me
I'm gonna lay there
And I'm gonna die
You will soon give me pain
Enough to fill me
And I'm gone past doing
Any good to cry
And the warm sunshine
Is like a stranger
There's a cruel violation
With the dawn
Lord, my pain can't stand
Illumination
And one of these cold lonesome mornings
I'll be gone
