One Too Many Mornings
Joan Baez Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Down the street the dogs are barking
And the day is a-gettin' dark
As the night comes in a-falling
The dogs will lose their bark

And the silent night will shatter
From the thoughts inside my mind
And I'm one too many mornings
And a thousand miles behind

At the crossroads 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 to the street
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 mean no one no good
When everything I'm saying
You can say it just as good

You were right from your side
But I was right from mine




We're both just one too many mornings
And a thousand miles behind

Overall Meaning

Joan Baez's song "One Too Many Mornings" is a melancholic reflection on a past love that has gone awry. The opening lines set the dark and desolate mood through the description of barking dogs and the onset of nightfall. As night takes over, the singer's thoughts turn inward, and it is apparent that the relationship has failed, leaving the singer "a thousand miles behind."


The singer's introspection leads them back to the physical space that they shared with their loved one, and they appear to long for the connection that has been lost. However, the singer also acknowledges that their perspectives were different and that neither of them was entirely in the right. The restless and hungry feeling that permeates the lyrics is a recognition that the singer is stuck in the past, unable to move forward.


The song's sense of desperation is heightened by its sparse instrumentation, emphasizing the power of Baez's voice and the poetic quality of the lyrics. The song leaves listeners with a sense of longing and regret, a poignant reminder of the pain of lost love.


Line by Line Meaning

Down the street the dogs are barking
It's evening and the dogs along the street are barking


And the day is a-gettin' dark
The daylight is fading away


As the night comes in a-falling
The night is setting in


The dogs will lose their bark
The dogs will stop barking when night falls


And the silent night will shatter
The silence that comes with the night will be shattered


From the thoughts inside my mind
By the thoughts that occupy my mind


And I'm one too many mornings
I have seen too many mornings and I'm exhausted


And a thousand miles behind
I'm far behind, like a thousand miles


At the crossroads of my doorstep
At the front porch, facing the intersection


My eyes they start to fade
I feel fatigued and weak


And I turn my head back to the room
I look back at my past memories with my lover in the room


Where my love and I have laid
Where we slept together


And I gaze back to the street
And I look back towards the street


The sidewalk and the sign
At the pathway and the signboard


And I'm one too many mornings
I've had too many mornings in my life


And a thousand miles behind
I'm far behind my expectations


It's a restless hungry feeling
It's a feeling of hunger and anxiety


That don't mean no one no good
Such feelings don't benefit anyone


When everything I'm saying
All the words I speak


You can say it just as good
Can be said better by someone else


You were right from your side
You had your own perspective and you were correct accordingly


But I was right from mine
But I had my perspective and I was right accordingly


We're both just one too many mornings
We've both had too many mornings


And a thousand miles behind
We're both far behind where we should be

Und selbst wenn
alle Dunkelheit
Der Nächte
In den Tagen läge

Und selbst Erwachen
Schwer

ich fände doch
Zu Dir
Es führen Wege
Selbst wenn
kein Ausweg
durch die Tür

We burnt Each Other
everlastingly
Our Sign
Of truest Love that
Overcomes
The loneliness
And wildest
cry

When we embrace
and kiss our
Wounds

The Smile remaining
When we caress us
Will be
What lets us
deeply , sad
and of most
tenderness
Acknowledging
and
In our Minds
Forever
Found and
Not to destroyed
And we will
Feel that
We are Unite

The Ring i had lost
I‘ve found again
It’s prayer and Your Love
You Sent
A Turquoise of Arizonas Depth
Your heart in myne
And at The Turquoise
Coast beneath your Hill
We‘ll make Love
We‘ll follow our destined
And guiding
Will
Ich bin Dein Du Mein

on The Rose

For a moment
in a Night Times Blessing
I left You in my Loves Embrace
as like a Flower
~ a Rose ~
and Purity her name
in darkness,
that was to bloom
in Heaven’s place.

as for the Love
in me
was not Disgraced,
A Lasting Kiss ,
A smile
a Light
A heart
that burns
throughly Memories
Forever Living

As Nighttime fell
As Nighttime falls
I‘ came, l’ll come and be
The One You‘ll see
The Love you feel

Just like a wild dog
Runs
Through Bushes
Of fences
And calamities

I passed my way to You
Through even
Greatest adversarities

The Rose of Sharon
Schmückt meinen Mund
~trotz Ausgebissen Zähne
In des Lebens Leid~
Wir Küssen uns
in purest Love
That went through

To and fro
And come and go
And I came back to You

Forever and Forevermore
