Never Not Sunday

Whisper your words like a river, go lightly I was born in the middle of night All of my ancestors walking behind me To the dreams I now know as a lie The wandering life never seemed like a goodbye To the land I once knew as a boy I ran through the light, it was never not Sunday Moments made in the shadows of joy As long as I'm living I'll find you there someday Hi, I wanted to tell you my age Dip my toe in the universe, matey Feelings like this were never the same When I found out that the world could not hide me Now the time is a weight on my wrist All of my hearts have wandered off without me To the land I once knew as a boy I ran through the light, it was never not Sunday Moments made in the shadows of joy As long as I'm living I'll find you there someday And I was striding like a world weary worthy winner But I was a life beginner And I was hoping for some magic before my dinner Open eyes and see the glimmer, go Vanishing before I could know Oh, the dreams I know now as a lie The wandering life never seemed like a goodbye To the land I once knew as a boy I ran through the light, it was never not Sunday Moments made in the shadows of joy As long as I'm living I'll find you there someday As long as I'm living I'll find you there someday As long as I'm living I'll find you there someday --- Never Not Sunday - Tom Rosenthal
