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, One by one, One by one, One by one, One by one, One by one 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, One by one, One by one, One by one, One by one, One by one
