Only One and Only Songtext
von Gillian Welch

There′s a hundred bluebirds up above the clouds
Putting all the color in the sky
And twice as many teardrops there to wash it down
Every one's another lullaby

But there′s only one and only
Who could go and leave me lonely


There's a world of trouble trying to take its turn
I can hear it shaking underground
Half a dozen lessons I might never learn
Not until them troubles come around

But there's only one and only
Who could go and leave me lonely

There′s a mile of blacktop where the road begins
It takes a time or two to recognize
Growing at the roadside, scattered by the wind
Are everybody′s unsaid sad goodbyes

But there's only one and only
Who could go and leave me lonely


You′re the only one, and only
Why'd you go and leave me lonely?
