Crying On Sunday Lyrics
Joseph Arthur
Crying on sunday
After church
To wake up on monday
Everything's worse.
Forgive me on tuesday
Or live with the curse
Of crying on sunday
After church.
We believe in redemption
Yet we follow regrets
To the ones we are trying always to love
And respect.
Crying on sunday
The virgin gave birth
To wake up on monday
Without her purse.
Destroy me on tuesday
I only get worse
For crying on sunday
After church.
I've never been so sure of love - love (repeated 4 times)
We believe in redemption
But we follow regret
To the ones we are trying always to love
And respect.
Crying on sunday
After church
To wake up on monday
Everything still hurts.
Forgive me on tuesday
Or be damned with the curse
Of crying on sunday
After church.
