Cold Lonesome Morning Lyrics - Johnny Cash

One of these cold lonesome mornings, you're gonna kill me 

I'm gonna lay there and I'm gonna die 

You will soon give me pain enough to fill me 

'Cause I'm gone past doin' any good to cry 

And the warm sunshine is like a stranger 

There's a cruel violation with the dawn 

Lord, my pain can't stand illumination 

And one of these cold lonesome mornings I'll be gone 

One of these cold lonesome mornings, dark and early 

Before a wild bird sings I'm gonna fly 

While it's still dark and I'm still reachin' for you 

I'll wake up and I can't cry 

But I know my heart can't stand another tremor 

Now it's holding together I don't know 

But just before the dawning's first glimmer 

One of these cold lonesome mornings I'm gonna go
