(feat. The Del McCoury Band)


I woke up this morning long before the dawn

I stumbled to the kitchen and put some coffee on

The hose was deathly quiet, I knew something was wrong

Then suddenly it dawned on me

The cold gray light of gone


(Chorus)

No there's nothin' quite as lonely

As the cold gray light of gone

Waking up and finding out she's never coming home

The note that said it's over

Lord it chills me to the bone

No there's nothin' quite as lonely

As the cold gray light of gone


I cried and cried for hours and I tried to clear my head

I even went and laid back down on her side of the bed

Her perfume lingered on the sheets

Our love once laid upon

Her memory's destroying me

In the cold gray light of gone


Repeat Chorus twice


No there's nothin' quite as lonely

As the cold gray light of gone
