One Day When The Weather Is Warm - Joe Henry

One day when the weather is warm,

I’ll wake up on the hill,

And hold the morning like it was a plow,

And cut myself a row

And follow it until

I know better by God than I know now.

There was no taste of spring

In the breath you blew away

And nothing of a color left in your face,

And no way I could keep

The faith you lost in me And nothing I could raise up in its place.

It’s a truth I keep alone

In the guise of love and help,

It’s an awful truth

To think I’ve always known

I gave my life to you

Just to save myself.

One day when the weather turns

as the sky is deep and wide

I’ll cut myself a row

Like a man in his sleep

That will find me farther

On than all the times I’ve tried

One day when the weather is warm,

I’ll wake up on the hill,

And hold the morning like it was a plow,

And cut myself a row

And follow it until

I know better by God than I know now.
