Kid Sam - The Sunday Bus lyrics

rate me

I'm mostly good at nothing

And I own the back-hoe on this desert town

I've always lived alone but I've a shop out back

With an emptiness so heavy hanging all around

I was fifty-three years old when I got away

Took a plane to T___ and I found her there

Standing in the market with her hair so black

I had the money so I took her back home with me

Year I took her back here to this desert town

We lived our lives the same as most of you

Never loved each other but thats alright

Thats a gift given only to a chosen few

It was aa good deal we had going

She kept the kitchen busy and I kept her fed

She got a comfortable place to sleep

And I got a woman sleeping in my bed

A bus comes through this desert town

Every Sunday morning making its way west

This week I found a stash of twenty dollar notes

I grabbed her and pulled her close to my chest

I said darling you can never leave

Or I'll bury your boddy in the desert sand

Days stretch on forever like the endless years

You've nevverr seen a more brutal and beuatiful land

...
