Mourning Glory Story - Al Kooper

Mourning Glory Story - Al Kooper
She wakes up she finds herself
Sleeping in a doorway
Wondering how she ever got this way
She fights her tears away
Then prays for no more sorrow
Will tomorrow be the same as yesterday
She tasted from the tree of life
Which led to hunger
Now she wonders how
She'll ever carry on
She thinks about the life
She knew when she was younger
Heaven help her now
Those days are long since gone
She wakes up she finds herself
Sleeping next to no one
And it's no fun
When there's no one there to see
No one there to see She looks
She looks down at her feet
My God they sure look dirty
Seven-thirty time to be or not to be
She cries out won't somebody
Listen to my story
Mourning Glories aren't
Supposed to have to beg
She wakes up
She finds herself sleeping in a doorway
Wonderin' how she ever got that way
She wakes up
She finds herself sleeping in a doorway
Wonderin' how she ever got that way
Way
