lyrics

this is a song about sundays
that brief pause before the week begins, when I wonder  
if there’s anything I should be doing different, or better, or just plain doing

this is a song about backroads. the old backroads I drive in my head
and the canola fields i pass along the way
that must’ve been there the last time, but i can’t remember

this is a song about the funeral of an old friend I barely knew
a friend whom i have little more right to write about than you
a friend who always used my full name

This is a song about what you can learn at such funerals
Learn about how they never stopped wearing their hair long
About their zeal, about how they didn’t share your fear of small talk
And about how it feels...

...it feels like i’m finally waking up after a long sleep

This is a song about new friends
The young, hopeful, gushing Canadiana.
Who remind you of a prince you once met on a November train to St Petersburg

This is a song about the Idiots
Who have had their day of grief
and whose tears have turned to paint on mural walls

this is a song about sundays
About the people you meet on them
About what you can learn from them
And about how...

...it feels like i’m finally waking up after a long sleep
