Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down 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'd 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's frying chicken. And Lord, it took me back to something that I'd 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 a' 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 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 the 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 a' dying That's half as lonesome as the sound Of the sleeping city sidewalk And Sunday morning coming down. | 日曜の朝が過ぎていく 日曜の朝、目覚めたら どう傾げても、頭が痛くて止まらない 朝食代わりに空けたビールは上々だった だからまた、デザートにあと、もう一杯 服を着ようと押入れに、手を突っ込んで、かき回し 汚いシャツしかない中を、ようやく見つけたマシなヤツ 顔を洗って髪を梳き 今日という日に向かうため、階段よろよろ降りてった 昨夜は好みのタバコと曲で もくもく頭を燻してたけど 朝イチのやつに火をつけてみりゃ 子供が缶蹴りをして、遊んでる 通りを歩いて渡ってみると チキンを揚げてる匂いがしてきた ああ何だっただろう、どうやってだか いつかどこかで失ったもの 日曜の朝の道端で 酔い痴れていたいと神に請う 日曜日には、どうしてか 独りぼっちが身に沁みる 死んだところで寂しくない 静かな日曜の街、聞こえる声に比べれば 日曜の朝が過ぎていく 公園行ったらある父親が 幼い娘の腕を取り、ぶらぶら揺らして笑わせていた 日曜学校ふと足止めれば 聴こえてきたのは聖歌の声 そこから先を歩いて行けば どこか遠くで鐘の音がする こだまが谷に、鳴り響く 昨日の夢が、消え去るように |
