Cold Lonesome Morning
Eternal Farewell in a Cold Morning
Lyrics
One of these cold lonesome mornings, you're gonna kill me
Anticipation of being harmed or betrayed in the future.
I'm gonna lay there and I'm gonna die
Envisioning the moment of death and resignation to it.
You will soon give me pain enough to fill me
Expecting emotional pain that will be overwhelming.
'Cause I'm gone past doin' any good to cry
Acknowledging a state of despair beyond the point of tears.
And the warm sunshine is like a stranger
Describing the feeling of alienation from positive experiences.
There's a cruel violation with the dawn
Expressing a harsh violation or betrayal with the arrival of morning.
Lord, my pain can't stand illumination
Highlighting the difficulty of facing pain in the light of day.
And one of these cold lonesome mornings I'll be gone
Resignation to the inevitability of departure in a cold morning.
One of these cold lonesome mornings, dark and early
Reiterating the theme of impending doom in the early hours.
Before a wild bird sings I'm gonna fly
Choosing to leave before the daybreak and the start of a new day.
While it's still dark and I'm still reachin' for you
Emphasizing the act of leaving while the world is still in darkness.
I'll wake up and I can't cry
Expressing emotional numbness and inability to cry.
But I know my heart can't stand another tremor
Acknowledging emotional fragility and vulnerability.
Now it's holding together I don't know
Uncertain about the emotional resilience and stability.
But just before the dawning's first glimmer
Referring to a moment just before the first light of the day.
One of these cold lonesome mornings I'm gonna go
Acceptance of the inevitability of departure in the morning.
Yes, one of these cold lonesome mornings you're gonna kill me [unverified]
Repeating the anticipation of harm or betrayal leading to death.
