story behind the song: a tuesday afternoon i will always remember
Lyrics
monday to saturday hated the rain
kept him off the fields, from fixing drains
even Sunday that day of rest
found him out driving, something he liked best
Told me what's a good man
Told me about them friends
Told me about living life
As a means to some sad end
So tell me why i miss him
Tell me why he's gone
Tell me about living life
And why it feels so wrong
monday through sunday when this winter came
found him always restless, sometimes far away
I should have read the signs, or at least between the lines
i never dreamed this man would have to say goodbye
Told me what's a good man
Told me about all them friends
Told me all about living life
As a means to some sad end
So tell me why i miss him
So tell me why he's gone
So tell me all about living life
And why it feels so wrong
I know he was good man
I know he was a good friend
I know he never lived his life
As a means to some sad end
So tell me why i miss him
Tell me why he's gone
Tell me how to teach the world
To live as he has done
