Well I woke up Sunday morning
With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad,
So I had one more for dessert
Then I fumbled in my closet through my clothes
And found my cleanest dirty shirt
Then I washed my face and combed my hair
And stumbled down the stairs to meet the day

I'd smoked my mind the night before
With cigarettes and the songs I'd been pickin'
But I lit my first and watched a small kid
Playin' with a can that he was kicking
Then I walked across the street
And caught the Sunday smell of someone's fryin' chicken
And it took me back to somethin'
That I'd lost somewhere, somehow along the way.

On a Sunday morning sidewalk
I'm wishing Lord that I was stoned
'Cause there's something in a Sunday
That makes a body feel alone
And there's nothin' short of dyin'
That's half as lonesome as the sound
Of a sleepin' city sidewalk
And Sunday mornin' comin' down

In the park I saw a daddy
With a laughin' little girl who he was swingin'
And I stopped beside a Sunday school
And listened to the songs they were singin'
Then I headed down the street
And somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringin'
And it echoed through the canyon
Like the disappearing dreams of yesterday

On a Sunday morning sidewalk
I'm wishing Lord that I was stoned
'Cause there's something in a Sunday
That makes a body feel alone
And there's nothin' short of dyin'
That's half as lonesome as the sound
Of a sleepin' city sidewalk
And Sunday mornin' comin' down

*content sigh* I love how evocative all your work is.

This was one of my mothers favorite songs to play when I was growing up, as she struggled herself. This is exactly the type of scene I picture whenever I listen to it. Great tribute, DBA, I'm really enjoying this one.

I dunno why (well aside from the fact that your art always rocks) but I really like this one.

Beautiful atmosphere, it is kind of nostalgic. The shadows and highlights are so impressive...

My take on a scene from "A Christmas Carol". I used a ref, the Scrooge character is my step dad and Tiny Tim is my nephew. If you haven't seen "A Christmas Carol" before, I highly recommend the 1951 film "Scrooge" aka "A Christmas Carol", it's the best of the film adaptations, in my opinion. I'm using this drawing as my Christmas card this year (e-cards mostly). As it stands, this is my Christmas card to all of you. :D
