One By One

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?
 Stays by your window
 Yeah, to God you hope
 One by one,
 One by one,
 One by one
 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
 One by one,
 One by one,
 One by one,
 One by one,
 One by one,
 One by one
 There's a Shepard in the dark
 He stands for Lord
 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
 One by one,
 One by one,
 One by one,
 One by one,
 One by one,
 One by one
