lyrics

THE SUNDAY RISING

In this chamber’s shade
I lie here with my lady love
alone in our lie
near purpled by a passion’s press

your wings unfurled
then furled round me
oh sable turtledove,
upon dorsums down
I soared within your darkness

But I fear the night has run
before the old man’s wake
the old gent that be the sun
will come our time to take

he’s always there yes he always follows
he’s at my door and at my window
stupid old fool
why d’you think yourself so great
the king he rides, you can’t be late.

Alone we lie here in my room
and again Mister Punctual
has come too soon

he’s always there, yes he always follows
he’s at my door and at my window
stupid old fool
why d’you think yourself so great
the king he rides, you can’t be late.

Alone we lie here in my room
and again Mister Punctual
has come too soon
we have a curtain
that won’t succumb to him
but unexpected and uninvited he comes
peeping in my window…

In this chamber’s shade
I lie here with my lady love
alone in our lie
near purpled by a passion’s press
your wings unfurled then furled round me
oh sable turtledove
upon dorsums down
I soared within your darkness.

But I fear the night has run
before the old man’s wake
the old gent that be the sun
will come our time to take

our humble curtain won’t succumb to him
but he finds ways out there to be looking in.

Alone we lie here in my room
and again Mister Punctual has come too soon
we have a curtain that won’t succumb to him
but unexpected and uninvited he comes
peeping in my window
bringing me another sunday
bringing me another day.
