One By One

In the morning when I woke up

I used to pray

And in the evening when I broke up

I'd have to pay

There's no doubt about it

We each have gone our separate ways

And though you live without it

Don't you think that something stays?

Stays by your window

Yeah, to God you hope

One by one

One by one

One by one

In the dark I turn my face

To hide a tear

Leavin' shadows in my place

They cannot hear

Like the meadows in the wind

I'm made of straw

And with my wages paid in sins

Lord, I've tried to crawl

And Lord I've reached each and every mile

That I've tried to run

One by one [x6]

There's a Shepard in the dark

He stands for Lord

Can he see me in the stark and

Naked morning?

Though your flock has gone astray

They'll be home soon

They'll fall down in the hay

Yes, and sleep 'till noon

With the morning dawn

Well, can't ya see

The first one's coming home

One by one [x6]
