Letra de Half-breed 1973 - this god-forsaken day

Read your note this morning
Bye-bye girl that´s all it said
Glad I found it first
Before the kids got out of bed
Baked a tray of muffins
Hung some wet wash out to dry
By the time the kids got up
I could look them in the eyes

(Chorus:)
You´ve gone away
You´ve gone away
How will I get through the day
This God-forsaken day

Drank some bitter coffee
Read your note ten times or more
When I had washed the dishes twice
I got down and scrubbed the floor
Empty chair at supper
Everybody´s acting strange
All the food just getting cold
The kids real quite for a change

(Chorus)

Rain was falling hard
As I walked slowly up the stairs
Pushed my tears back down
As I stood listening to their prayers
There´s you empty pillow
Your side´s flat right to the wall
Now´s the time for cry, but crying
Now it hurts me most of all

You´ve gone away
I turn off the light
How will I get through the night
This God-forsaken night
This long and lonesome
God-forsaken night
