Cold Lonesome Morning (Cash Johnny)

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
