"Lonely Mornings" lyrics

Heard it a thousand times
Most about the lonely nights
About the way he or she looked out in the moonlight
But it's the light of day
That troubles me much the same way
I feel I need to find a place to hide away

Too often these days
Find me wide awake
Well past the dawn

All those lonely mornings

Back in better days
Every morning I would wake
To the smell of sweet perfume and a smiling face
Now I'm on my own
The bed we shared feels awful cold
An empty house just ain't no kind of home
The kitchen table alone
Where the sun comes through the windows
I hear a blue wailing calling
All those lonely mornings

In the kitchen window smoking
Dipping ashes in the sink
In the window smoking
Looking out into the streets

Neighbors leaving for the day
I catch her eye. She smiles and I do the same
And then I shut the window and I pull the shades
Shut all the lights off
Though it don't matter anyhow
Lately, I've been sleeping in the basement on a couch

At least I sleep
I still dream
But in my dreams I'm always falling

All those lonely mornings
