Johnny Cash Cold Lonesome Morning Lyrics

Cold Lonesome Morning Lyrics

One of these cold lonesome mornings, you're gonna kill me

I'm gonna lay there and I'm gonna die

You will soon give me pain enough to fill me

'Cause I'm gone past doin' any good to cry



And the warm sunshine is like a stranger

There's a cruel violation with the dawn

Lord, my pain can't stand illumination

And one of these cold lonesome mornings I'll be gone



One of these cold lonesome mornings, dark and early

Before a wild bird sings I'm gonna fly

While it's still dark and I'm still reachin' for you

I'll wake up and I can't cry



But I know my heart can't stand another tremor

Now it's holding together I don't know

But just before the dawning's first glimmer

One of these cold lonesome mornings I'm gonna go



Yes, one of these cold lonesome mornings you're gonna kill me [unverified]
