Well I woke up Sunday morning With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad So I had one more for dessert Then I fumbled in my closet through my clothes And found my cleanest dirty shirt Then I washed my face and combed my hair And stumbled down the stairs to meet the day I smoked my mind the night before With cigarettes and songs I'd been picking But I lit my first and watched a small kid Playing with a can that he was kicking Then I walked across the street and caught The Sunday smell of someone frying chicken Lord it took me back to something that I lost somewhere somehow along the way On a Sunday morning sidewalk I'm wishing Lord that I was stoned 'Cause there's something in a Sunday That makes a body feel alone And there's nothing short of dying That?s half as lonesome as the sound Of the sleeping city sidewalk And Sunday morning coming down In the park I saw a daddy with a Laughing little girl that he was swinging And I stopped beside a Sunday school And listened to the songs that they were singing Then I headed down the street and somewhere Far away a lonely bell was ringing And it echoed through the canyon Like disappearing dreams of yesterday On a Sunday morning sidewalk I'm wishing Lord that I was stoned 'Cause there's something in a Sunday That makes a body feel alone And there's nothing short of dying That?s half as lonesome as the sound Of the sleeping city sidewalk And Sunday morning coming down.

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque la mélancolie d'un dimanche matin, marqué par un réveil difficile après une nuit agitée. On y ressent un sentiment de solitude qui s'impose alors que le protagoniste se déplace à travers une ville encore endormie, où il est entouré de scènes de vie quotidienne. Les souvenirs nostalgiques et les petits moments de joie des autres contrastent avec son état d'errance, ce qui accentue un profond sentiment de perte. La simplicité des instants présentés, entre un père jouant avec sa fille et les chants d'une école du dimanche, plonge l'auditeur dans une réflexion sur la solitude et le passage du temps.
