[Verse 1]
[Am]One [G]cold
April morning she watches him leaving
She [Am]waves at the window
then walks to the kitchen
She [G]makes herself coffee, the
TV man's talking
[Am]His face is the same,
but his words have no meaning [G]today
Where are the children who
filled up her morning
Who [Am]set the house ringing
with laughter and singing
And [G]where are the faces she
wiped with the flannel?
She mis[Am]ses their twinkling,
their rosy cheeks shining [G]today.
[D]Monday she dressed them in
[Am]shirts she had pressed.
Then she [G]fed them and brushed
them and [D]drove them to school.
She dried up their tears as
she [Am]stifled her own
And she [G]told them to her own
And [D]soothed all their worries away
[C][G]
[Am][G]
[Am]
[G]Tuesday's a slow day,
it rains in the morning
She [Am]watches some
TV, lunch with her mother
They [G]talk about times before
death and divorces
Di[Am]vided the family and took all her loved
one [G]year's away
Wednesday's a slow day and
Thursday's no better
on
[Am]Friday her lover returns for the weekend avoid
[G]ing the issues of plans and commitment
part [Am]of her hates him part of
her wants him [G]to stay
[D]Sunday they go for a
[Am]drive in the country
They [G]stop by a church and
she si[D]lently prays
For someone to want her,
for [Am]someone to need her
[G]Someone to love her and [D]take all this
longing [C]away[G][Am][G]
[Am]
One [G]cold
April morning she watches him leaving
You
