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.
