As Sunday Goes By

[Verse 1 | Youthful Melancholic Male Vocal | Upfront Dry Delivery | 12-String Guitar & Strings Only] It is the evening of the day, I sit and watch the light all fade away. The laughing children I can hear no more, And Monday's knocking at my door. [Chorus | Yearning Vocal Delivery | Wide Stereo String Quartet Swell | Soft Tambourine] My freedom's gone, it flies so high, As Sunday slowly goes by. My freedom's gone, I can only sigh, As Sunday slowly goes by. [Verse 2 | Intimate Detached Vocal | Close-Mic | Delicate Acoustic Arpeggios] The TV's on, the shows all seem so gray, They cannot push the coming dread away. I think of meetings, deadlines I must keep, And all the promises while I'm asleep. [Chorus | Yearning Vocal Delivery | Wide Stereo String Quartet Swell | Soft Tambourine] My freedom's gone, it flies so high, As Sunday slowly goes by. My freedom's gone, I can only sigh, As Sunday slowly goes by. [Outro | Fading 12-String Guitar | Sustained Strings | Ethereal Vocal Echoes] [Instrumental: Main 12-string guitar riff repeats while strings hold long, beautiful notes] (As Sunday goes by...) (Mmm, Sunday goes by...) (As Sunday... goes by...) [Instrumental: Final gentle strum of the guitar and a lingering, unresolved note from the strings fading to silence] [End]
