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 doin´ 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 reachin´ for you I´ll wake up and I can´t cry
But I know my heart can´t stand another tremor
Now 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...
