O ne of these cold lonesome mornings you're gonna kill me
I'm gonna la y there and I'm gonna di e
You will so on give me pain enough to fil l me
'Cause I'm gon e past doin' any good to cr y
And the wa rm sunshine is like a stran ger
There's a cruel violation with the da wn
Lord my pa in can't stand illuminatio n
And one of the se cold lonesome morn ings I'll be gon e
O ne of these cold lonesome mornings dark and early
Before a wil d bird sings I'm gonna fl y
While it's sti ll dark and I'm still reachin' for yo u
I'll wa ke up and I can't cr y
But I kno w my heart can't stand another tre mor
Now it's holding together I don't kn ow
But just bef ore the dawning's first glimm er
One of the se cold lonesome morni ngs I'm gonna g o
Ye s one of these cold lonesome mornings you're gonna kill me
I'm gonna la y there and I'm gonna di e
You will so on give me pain enough to fil l me
'Cause I'm gon e past doin' any good to cr y
And the wa rm sunshine is like a stran ger
There's a cruel violation with the da wn
Lord my pa in can't stand illuminatio n
And one of the se cold lonesome morn ings I'll be gon e
