Spent Sunday

A film by Dan Foldes/Pint of Soul with words and music by Alexis Harte

I spent Sunday…
Untangling extension cords
putting things back in drawers…
...Sunday,
Digging up bramble shoots,
Gotta get ‘em out by the roots,
Gotta show this kid how it’s done…
….on Sunday
waiting there on hold,
trying to be a kinder soul, to everyone
I meet on the way…

I spent Sunday,
I call it church
My own little church

I spent Sunday….
Hauling heavy stones,
resting up old bones,
…..On Sunday
Rolling in an unmade bed
to clear some room in our heads.
So we can do it all over again,
…Next Sunday
Tying up loose ends
Trying to keep up with my friends
So they don’t fade away

I spent Sunday,
I call it church
My own little church

I spent Sunday….
praying for peace for at last
praying for peace that lasts

…..past Sunday
Licking everybody’s wounds,
Trying to write a brand new tune
And hope the pain, starts to fade away
…..on Sunday,
Cleaning up this dive
Trying to keep my trees alive….
so in their shade, one day I’ll lay

I spent Sunday,
I call it church
My own little church
