Coldwater Morning Lyrics
One, knowing I'm one, hearing of two
And like a child believing dreams
Always a dream to take you home
Day, after the day, there comes the night
There comes the knowing when you laugh
If you should laugh,
The night alone will hear
And the night don't care
Coldwater morning
Take off your nighttime shoes
Coldwater morning
I've been waiting so long for you
One, knowing I'm one, hearing of two
Hearing of things that I once had
That you once had
And when the night would come
We'd sleep like one
Coldwater morning
Take off your nighttime shoes
Coldwater morning
I've been waiting so long for you
I've been waiting so long for you...
And like a child believing dreams
Always a dream to take you home
Day, after the day, there comes the night
If you should laugh,
The night alone will hear
And the night don't care
Take off your nighttime shoes
Coldwater morning
I've been waiting so long for you
Hearing of things that I once had
That you once had
And when the night would come
Coldwater morning
Take off your nighttime shoes
Coldwater morning
I've been waiting so long for you...

The failure of a relationship can leave one in dark sadness, tossing and turning until the wan sun makes an appearance. Sometimes, the day brings activities that for a time will lead your thoughts elsewhere. Then the day ends and the season of loss exhorts the pain to awaken.
this is a comment on a failed/folded relationship. One, knowing I'm one, hearing of two, is saying he is alone and hearing of the new relationship. This follows through with the talk of loneliness, when you laugh, the night alone will hear and the night don't care... then comes the awakening, the cold water morning. And yes, those of us who are in relationships we know are doomed will know the feeling I've been waiting so long for you. there is such overwhelming sadness in this song, it cuts to the very heart. So I reversed the trend and wrote a medieval love story which follows the theme of the song and in the end, the couple are reunited.
Your analysis makes sense. Yet I wonder if the song is also making reference to a place where Neil Diamond (or someone else he was writing about) may have lived in 1970 when the song was being composed -- near Coldwater Canyon in the Los Angeles area?
