Patti Smith
One Too Many Mornings - Recorded At Electric Lady Studios
(Patti--spoken)
This is one of my favorite Bob Dylan songs--One Too Many Mornings--and we all wish him a very happy 80th birthday.
Down the street the dogs are barkin
And the day is a-gettin dark
As the night comes in a-falling
The dogs will lose their bark
And the silent night shatters
The sounds inside my mind
Just one too many mornings
And a thousand miles behind
From the crossroads of my doorstep
My eyes start to fade
And I turn my head back to the room
Where my love and I have laid
And I gaze back to the street
The sidewalks and the signs
And it's one too many mornings
And a thousand miles bеhind
It’s a restless hungry feeling
Don't do anyone no good
Whеn everything I’m a-sayin
You can say it just as good
You’re right from your side
I'm right from mine
Both one too many mornings
And a thousand miles behind
