Lyrics
Mourning Glory Story
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She wakes up, she finds herself sleeping in a doorway
Wondering how she ever got this way
She fights her tears away then prays for no more sorrow
Will tomorrow be the same as yesterday
She tasted from the tree of life which led to hunger
Now she wonders how she'll ever carry on
She thinks about the life she knew when she was younger
Heaven help her now those days are long since gone
She wakes up, she finds herself sleeping next to no one
And it's no fun when there's no one there to see
She looks down at her feet my God they sure look dirty
Seven-thirty, time to be or not to be
She cries out won't somebody listen to my story
Mourning Glories aren't supposed to have to beg
She wakes up - she finds herself sleeping in a doorway
Wonderin' how she ever got that way
