One Too Many Mornings

(album: Cat Power Sings Dylan: The 1966 Royal Albert Hall Concert - 2023)

Down the street, the dogs are barking
And the day is getting dark
As the night comes a-falling
The dogs, they lose their bark

And the silent night will shatter
From the sounds inside my mind
As I'm one too many mornings
And a thousand miles behind

From the crossroads of my doorstep
My eyes begin to fade
And I turn my head back to the room
Where my love and I have laid

And I gaze back to the street
The sidewalks and the sign
Never know I'm one too many mornings
And a thousand miles behind

It's a restless hungry feeling
It don't mean no one no good
When everything that I'm saying
You can say it just as good

You're right from your side
And I'm right from mine
We're both just one too many mornings
And a thousand miles behind

Behind
