Down the street the dogs are barkin’
And the day is a-gettin’ dark,
As the night comes in a-fallin’,
The dogs’ll lose their bark,
An’ the silent night will shatter,
From the sounds inside my mind,
For I’m one too many mornings,
And a thousand miles behind.
From the crossroads of my doorstep,
My eyes they start to fade,
As I turn my head back to the room,
Where my love and I have laid,
An’ I gaze back to the street,
The sidewalk and the sign,
And I’m one too many mornings,
An’ a thousand miles behind.
It’s a restless hungry feeling,
That don’t mean no one no good,
When ev’rything I’m a-sayin’,
You can say it just as good.
You’re right from your side,
I’m right from mine,
We’re both just one too many mornings,
An’ a thousand miles behind.
