Mourning Glory Story

Intro: / /     (2X)

             /               /            /
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,.
