One Day When The Weather Is Warm

One Day When The Weather Is Warm – Joe HenryOne day when the weather is warm,I'll wake up on a hill,And hold the morning like it was a plow,And cut myself a rowAnd follow it untilI know better by God than I know now.There was no taste of springIn the breath you blew awayAnd nothing of a color left in your face,And no way I could keepThe faith you lost in meAnd nothing that I could raise up in its place.It's a truth I keep aloneIn the guise of love and help,It's an awful truthA thing I've always known:I gave my life to youJust to save myself.One day when the weather turnsas sweet as the sky is deep and wideI'll cut myself a rowLike a man in his sleepThat will find me farther on…On than all the times I've triedOne day when the weather is warm,I'll wake up on the hill,And hold the morning like it was a plow,And I'll cut myself a rowAnd I'll follow it untilI know better by God than I know now.
