One by One Lyrics by Looking Glass

Looking Glass

1972

[Verse 1]
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?
[Bridge]
Stays by your window
Yeah, to God you hope
[Chorus]
One by one
One by one
One by one
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
One by one
One by one
One by one
One by one
One by one
One by one
[Verse 3]
There's a shepherd in the dark
He stands forlorn
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
[Chorus]
One by one
One by one
One by one
One by one
One by one
One by one
