THE WATERBOYS - A LIFE OF SUNDAYS lyrics

rate me

Hold me!

before I go under.

Hear me!

before I drown.

Sharpen!

your sense of wonder.

Listen!

to what I've found.

Here we are again,

two old lovers,

two old friends,

just when you need them.

A devil was standing on my shoes

somehow I know how to defeat him

since I tumbled into you.

You taught me love and pain,

and the unsung King or Ireland

says the same thing,

wherever you find it.

(the whole world wide over)

The same thing from the same old cause.

The same thing - I cannot define it.

It is the same thing and it always was.

It struck me sad and strange,

all that ever stays the same

is change...

...and I dreamed I wandered

wayward as a restless wave.

Spanning from here to yonder

most spectacularly saved.

Dream and life entwined,

the old day cracks and crumbles

and it's

Fine!

to be in your company.

Funny!

to be in your day.

A miracle!

just to be with you.

Glad!

to be going your way.

Were these unfolding plans

designed and drawn by mortal hands?

Never in a life of Sundays

would I have seen me here.
