Mornin' After Baby Let Me Down

(الألبوم: Sometimes A Memory Ain't Enough - 1973)

The alarm clock woke my sleeping I lay there for a minute
With a million cobwebs clinging to my brain
I stopped that bell from ringing about the times it takes a heartbeat
Then I settled back and closed my eyes again
Reached out for my baby for some early morning loving
Terrible truth came staggering through my head
Lord there was nothing that goes on to lay around me
That woman she wasn't beside the Killer in the bed
(It's the morning after baby let me down
It's the daybreak and the heartbreak that I found)
Only silence to torment me no soft hands to touch me gently
It's the morning after baby let me down

There was nothing to hold on to but the sheets that fell around me
My God I was trembling like a leaf
How could that woman leave me she was more than just a lover
Every bit a lady warm and sweet
I can taste the salty teardrops it's getting hard to swallow
But a glass of bourbon takes that lump away (yes it does)
Ain't got no appetite for eating I got sick I got an empty feeling
What a good for nothing way to start the day
(It's the morning after baby...
Yeah it's the morning after baby...
