Well I woke up Sun-day morn-ing,
With no way to hold my head
that did-n't hurt.
And the beer I had for break-fast
Was-n't bad,
So I had one more for des-sert.
Then I fum-bled through my
clos-et for my clothes,
And found my clean-est dir-ty shirt.
An' I shaved my face and combed my hair,
An' stum-bled down the stairs
to meet the day.
I'd smoked my brain the night be-fore,
With cig-a-rettes
and songs that I'd been pick-in'
But I lit my first and watched a small kid,
Cuss-in' at a can that he was kick-ing.
Then I crossed the emp-ty street
'n caught the Sun-day smell
of some-one fry-in' chick-en.
And it took me back to some-thin'
That I'd lost some-how,
some-where a-long the way.
On the Sun-day morn-ing side-walks,
Wish-in' Lord, that I was stoned,
'Cause there's some-thing in a Sun-day,
Makes a bod-y, feel a-lone,
And there's noth-in' short of dy-in'
Half as lone-some, as the sound,
On the sleep-in' cit-y side walks,
Sun-day morn-in' com-in' down,
And there's noth-in' short of dy-in'
Half as lone-some, as the sound,
On the sleep-in' cit-y side walks,
Sun-day morn-in' com-in' down,
Sun-day morn-in' com-in' down.
In the park I saw a dad-dy,
With a laugh-in' lit-tle girl
That he was swing-in'
And I stopped be-side a Sun-day school
And lis-tened to the song
that they were sing-in'
Then I head-ed back for home,
And some-where far a-way
a lone-ly bell was ring-in'
And it ech-oed thru the can-yons,
Like the dis-ap-pear-ing dreams
of yes-ter-day
On the Sun-day morn-ing side-walks,
Wish-in' Lord, that I was stoned,
'Cause there's some-thing in a Sun-day,
Makes a bod-y, feel a-lone,
And there's noth-in' short of dy-in'
Half as lone-some, as the sound,
On the sleep-in' cit-y side walks,
Sun-day morn-in' com-in' down,
