One Day Away from You by Ralph McTell Lyrics

One day away from you, left on my own
I list the changes that I swear I'm gonna make
But never do when I get home

One day away from you, each unkind word
I spoke in anger hurts me more than when in
The moment's heat it first occurred

One day away from you, each thoughtless deed
That was my fault opens the wound and rubs
In salt and stings and makes me bleed

One day away from you is like a week
A week is like a blue moon month of dreary
Sunday afternoons and leaves me weak

One day away from you is all it takes
You'd think by now I'd learned the lessons of the past
But haven't yet from my mistakes

One day away from you, I do deceive
Myself to thinking I could cope without you
Pity on this fool, what webs I weave
One day away from you, I do deceive
Myself to thinking I could cope without you
Pity on this fool, what webs I weave
