Al Kooper - Mourning Glory Story lyrics

Nilsson 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. 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,.
