Story behind the song
Sundays is a pun, which I suppose explains why the line I’ve always been partial to Sundays makes me laugh every time I sing it. There are some pretty sketchy lyrics in this song, but I like the harmony and it will always remind me of the Sundays; we were listening to an older version of this in the car the night I met Harriet Wheeler and David Gavurin. The song has nothing else to do with them. Craig Benelli worked out the fingering for this version when we were performing together in 1994/5. I’m playing it on the recording.
Lyrics
she smokes a cigarette i wait inside as the church bells begin to ring the organ plays as she changes her ways and she comes through the door dressed in white it feels like i'm floating on air but it's probably more like my darkest hour i don't know if i'll spend the rest of my life if each day's gonna feel like sunday i save all the letters she sent through the mail when this wasn't a problem at all and who can really say if i'll need them someday? it's all trivial now i won't let it bother me i've always been partial to sundays but how can i cry if she won't tell me why she will leave if i don't give her sundays? i'll get used to it if it's the last thing i do or she'll be moving on i may be crazy but if this is how it feels then drive me insane i'll smoke a cigarette you wait inside it's only the least i can do i'm looking for answers but finding the truth and i don't like what i've come to know i love her just the same i'll never betray her precious heart if i can't understand every grain in this sand then i'll be here beside her on sundays
