Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Saturday sun
Came early one morning
In a sky
So clear and blue
Saturday sun
Came without warning
So no one knew
What to do
[Verse 2]
Saturday sun
Brought people and faces
That didn't seem much
In their day
But when I remembered
Those people and places
They were really too good
In their way
[Verse 3]
In their way
In their way
Saturday sun
Won't come and see me today
[Verse 4]
Think about stories
With reason and rhyme
Circling through
Your brain
And think about people
In their season and time
Returning again
And again
[Verse 5]
And again
And again
But Saturday's sun
Has turned to Sunday's rain
[Verse 6]
So Sunday sat
In the Saturday sun
And wept
For a day gone by
