One Too Many Mornings
Whispers of a Wandering Heart: Sophie Hunger's 'One Too Many Mornings'
Lyrics
Down the street the dogs are barkin'
Street noise with barking dogs.
And the day is a-gettin' dark
Day is ending, growing dark.
As the night comes in a-fallin'
Night is falling.
The dogs'll lose their bark
Dogs will quiet down.
An' the silent night will shatter
Quiet night disrupted by inner thoughts.
From the sounds inside my mind
Inner turmoil causing mental noise.
For I'm one too many mornings
Feeling of having experienced too many mornings.
And a thousand miles behind
Far behind in the journey, both physically and emotionally.
From the crossroads of my doorstep
Reflection at a crossroads, vision fading.
My eyes they start to fade
Eyes losing focus.
As I turn my head back to the room
Turning back to a shared space with a loved one.
Where my love and I have laid
Where love was once present.
An' I gaze back to the street
Gazing back at the street.
The sidewalk and the sign
Observing surroundings.
And I'm one too many mornings
Feeling overwhelmed, one too many mornings.
An' a thousand miles behind
Falling further behind in the journey.
It's a restless hungry feeling
Restless, unsatisfied emotion.
That don't mean no one no good
Emotion not beneficial to anyone.
When ev'rything I'm a-sayin'
Words spoken hold no positive impact.
You can say it just as good
Others can express the same sentiments effectively.
You're right from your side
Recognition of differing perspectives.
I'm right from mine
Individual truths.
We're both just one too many mornings
Mutual feeling of being overwhelmed.
An' a thousand miles behind
Continued distance from a desired state.
