Cold Lonesome Morning

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
[ harmonica ]
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
[ harmonica - guitar ]
Yes one of these cold lonesome mornings you're gonna kill me...
