Standard (EADGBE)
Down the street the dogs are barking
And the day is getting dark
As the night comes in a-falling
The dog 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.
From the crossroads of my doorstep
My eyes begin 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 know I'm one too many mornings
And a thousand miles behind.
(instrumental break over full verse chords)
It's a restless hungry feeling
And it don't mean no one no good,
When everything that I'm saying
You can say just as good.
You are right from your side,
And I'm right from mine,
We're both one too many mornings
And a thousand miles behind.
(instrumental break over verse chords up to 1st stop)
I've no right to be here
If you've no right to stay,
Until we're both one too many mornings
And a thousand miles away.
