"One True Love" lyrics

"One True Love"

Two, three

She awoke before the light
She awoke before the light
Combed her hair back, tied it tight
She awoke before the light

Kissed her sleeping kids goodbye
Kissed her sleeping kids goodbye
Leather shoes and a suit and tie
She kissed her sleeping kids goodbye

My one true love
My one true love

She sits in a diamond chair
She sits in a diamond chair
Takes her lunch and dinner there
She sits in a diamond chair

She calls when she's coming soon
Calls me when she's coming soon
Says goodnight, I miss you too
She calls when she's coming soon

My one true love
My one true love

One more year and I'll retire
One more year and I'll retire
We'll have all our heart's desire
In one more year and I'll retire

She awoke to flashing lights
She awoke to flashing lights
Shattered glass in the cold, damp night
She awoke to flashing lights

My one true love
My one true love

I awake before the light
I awake before the light
Lay fresh-cut flowers on the green hillside
I awake before the light
I awake before the light
