lyrics

Sunday after this one
I will make a change
'N I'll come back the next one
To this seat, and this steeple
Then for six days I am gone

Just one Sunday more and
I will change my ways
'N I'll stop prattling on
To this church, and these people
Who have I been leading on?

Well, the times are tough
The fight's been fought
Life's so long, and my fuse is shot
Wicks need knicks to catch on
But these damp eyes catch no fire at all

Just one Sunday more and I will break away
And I'll stop clinging onto this sash and that bible
Free of this chain and this ball
When freedom's gone, and god is dead
I'll tell you all what is in my head
That's if they were ever there at all
So I keep hope and pride stripped
Close-mouthed and tight-lipped
But sometimes words slip after all
