Mist On A Monday Morning Lyrics - Electric Light Orchestra

I wake and yawn at the crack of dawn 

With dewdrops on my feet 

As I rise up to greet the morning 

Nothing much to eat 

Every breath I take seems to make my body ache 

My only friend is mist on a monday morning 

Pick up my sack and walk for miles 

Never thinking why 

To the brewer's yard where I can sit 

And watch my life go by 

Drink and drink all day till my memory melts away 

I need a friend like mist on a monday morning 

Where's my wife, has she gone 

I hear misty morning call 

One foot resting in the grave 

Destined not to see her anymore 

There's a den in the grass by the autopath 

Of corrugated steel 

I may be sleeping there tonight 

And depending how I feel 

Damp and dirty place 

Printing sorrow on my face 

With nothing but the mist on a monday morning 

Chorus 

From... I feel the sin 

Like wheels upon my feet 

Intoxicated by the night 

I stumbled in the street 

Every breath I take seems to make my body ache 

And drift into the mist on a monday morning
