Lyrics

[Verse 1]
All I want is the best for our lives, my dear
And you know my wishes are sincere
What's to say for the days I cannot bear?
[Verse 2]
A Sunday smile, we wore it for a while
And a cemetery mile, we paused and sang
A Sunday smile, we wore it for a while
And a cemetery mile, we paused and sang
A Sunday smile, and we felt clean
[Verse 3]
We burnt to the ground, left a view to admire
The buildings inside, church of white
We burnt to the ground, left a grave to admire
As we reach for the sky, reach the church of white
[Verse 4]
A Sunday smile, we wore it for a while
A cemetery mile, we paused and sang
A Sunday smile, we wore it for a while
And a cemetery mile, we paused and sang
A Sunday smile, and we felt clean
