Mornin' After Baby Let Me Down

(الألبوم: One's On The Way - 1972)

The alarm clock woke my sleeping but I lay there for a minute
With a million cobwebs clinging to my brain
I stopped that bell from ringing in the times it takes a heartbeat
Then I settled back and closed my eyes again
I reached out for my baby for some early morning loving
Then the terrible truth came staggering through my head
There was just an empty pillow and the mem'ry of his kisses
Baby wasn't there beside me 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 strong 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
And I started into trembling like a leaf
How could he ever leave me he was more than just a lover
And he knew all the ways to make me feel complete
I can taste the salty teardrops God it's getting hard to swallow
Hope a glass of wine will take his love away
Got no appetite for eating just a sick and empty feeling
What a good for nothing way to start the day
It's the morning after baby...
