[Verse 1] Down the street the dogs are barking And the day is a-getting dark As the night comes in a-falling The dogs will lose their bark And the silent night will shatter From the sounds inside my mind For I'm one too many mornings And a thousand miles behind [Verse 2] 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
And I gaze back to the street The sidewalk and the sign And I'm one too many mornings And a thousand miles behind [Verse 3] It's a restless hungry feeling That don't mean no one no good When everything I'm a-saying 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 And a thousand miles behind
