"Only One And Only (Alternate Version)" lyrics - 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

[Chorus:]
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

[Chorus:]
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

[Chorus:]
But there's only one and only
Who could go and leave me lonely

[Outro:]
But there's only one and only
Who could go and leave me lonely
