One By One
(© Pieter Sweval)

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 yet, to guide you home

One by One,
One by One,
One by One

In the dark I turned my face to hide a tear
Leaving shadows in my place, they can not hear
Like the meadows in the wind, I'm made of straw
And with my wages paid in sins, Lord I tried to crawl
Through each and every mile that I roam

One by One,
One by One,
One by One

There's a shepherd in the dark, he stands forlorn
Can he see me in the stark and naked morning
Though your flock is gonna stray, they'll be home soon
But fall down in the hay, yes and sleep until noon
With the morning dawning can't you see the first one's coming home

One by One
One by One
