[00:06.362]Well, I woke up Sunday morning
[00:09.208]With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt.
[00:18.587]And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad,
[00:22.744]So I had one more for dessert.
[00:30.745]Then I fumbled in my closet through my clothes,
[00:35.082]And found my cleanest dirty shirt.
[00:43.018]And I washed my face and combed my hair
[00:46.323]And stumbled down the stairs to meet the day.
[00:50.250]
[00:52.275]
[00:55.258]I'd smoked my brain the night before
[00:58.954]With cigarettes and songs I'd been picking.
[01:07.538]But I lit my first and watched a small kid.
[01:11.338]'Cause at the can that he was kicking.
[01:19.787]Then I across the street,
[01:22.299]And caught the Sunday smell of someone's frying chicken.
[01:31.930]And it took me back to something that I'd lost,
[01:35.826]Somehow,somewhere along the way.
[01:40.714]
[01:42.306]On the Sunday morning sidewalk,
[01:48.412]I'm wishing, Lord, that I was stoned.
[01:54.419]'Cause there's something in a Sunday
[01:58.186]
[02:00.442]That makes a body feel alone.
[02:06.780]And there's nothing shorter than dying
[02:10.190]
[02:12.470]Half as lonesome as the sound,
[02:18.476]On the sleeping city sidewalk.
[02:25.036]Sunday morning coming down.
[02:28.340]
[02:29.580]
[02:32.627]In the park I saw a daddy
[02:35.780]With a laughing little girl that he was swinging.
[02:44.916]And I stopped beside a Sunday school
[02:48.237]And listened to the songs they were singing.
[02:53.475]
[02:57.303]Then I headed back for home,
[02:59.748]And somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringing,
[03:09.191]And it echoed through the canyon
[03:12.076]Like the disappearing dreams of yesterday.
[03:16.133]
[03:17.868]
[03:19.692]On the Sunday morning sidewalk,
[03:25.196]I'm wishing, Lord, that I was stoned.
[03:31.340]'Cause there's something in a Sunday
[03:37.348]That makes a body feel alone.
[03:43.419]And there's nothing short than dying
[03:45.993]
[03:49.154]Half as lonesome as the sound
[03:52.481]
[03:55.258]On the sleeping city sidewalk
[03:58.738]
[04:00.825]And Sunday morning coming down.
