about

Sunday Sessions: One Too Many Mornings (Dylan Cover) & Joan
Available from January 23 - January 29

I'm a day late with this week's entry so I thought I'd double it. "One Too Many Mornings" is a Bob Dylan cover and one of the first songs I started playing in front of people. There are more versus to it that have sort of fallen by the wayside over the last few years, but the idea is still there. I probably think about that song more often than I play it--that "restless, hungry feeling" is a regular thing.

"Joan" is one of the first songs I wrote. Love songs are rare endeavors for me, but this one's been around for a few years and I still like it. Sophie Nelson joins me.

Here's to gray mornings,

Max

lyrics

One Too Many Mornings
by Bob Dylan

down the street the dogs are barking
and the day is getting dark
as night comes in a falling
the dogs will lose their bark
and the quiet night will shatter
from the sounds inside my mind
and i'm one too many mornings
and a thousand miles behind

out the corner of my doorstep
my eyes they start to fade
and i turn my head back to the room
where my love and i have laid
and i gaze back at the street
at the sidewalk and the sign
and i'm one too many mornings
and a thousand miles behind

it's a restless hungry feeling
that don't do no one no good
when everything i'm a saying
you could say it just as good
you're right from your side
and i'm right from mind
we're just one too many mornings
and a thousand miles behind

Joan

down a one way street through a trailer park
your eyes were closed so you could hear the stars
and we'd coast down the worn forgotten path
in the light of the sun on the moon in the dark

you wore canvass shoes thin from spinning the globe
and the dew fell soft soaked through the soles
so we stopped to rest on the steeple steps
and we sat and we waited for the morning toles

---joan don't you go
i was trying real hard to wake you, you know
joan, can't you tell
you're my dawn and i'm your morning bell

on the steeple steps we sat and we laughed
and the night was warm but the night don't last
so as barflies floated softly home
they stumbled and moaned we didn't care about that

cause a song fell between the dark and the light
and they were playing for us and they were playing alright
we were outside the angst of an empty church
in the street we were dancing with all our might

---

now it's a long way back and a long way home
and i'm a looking for joan and a place to be warm
so i'll be waiting for her on the steeple steps
and i'll be shouting out loud come the light of the morn
