    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 through my closet for my clothes

    and found my cleanest dirty shirt

    it's the one I'm wearin'

    and I shaved my face and combed my hair

    and stumbled down the stairs to meet the day

    I'd smoked my brain the night before

    or I smoked so much the night before

    with cigarettes and songs that I've been pickin'

    my mouth was like an ashtray I'd been lickin'

    but I lit my first and watched a small kid

    cussin' at a can that he was kicking

    then I crossed the empty street

    and caught the Sunday smell of someone fryin' chicken

    and it took me back to somethin'

    that I'd lost somehow somewhere along the way

    Chorus:

    On the Sunday morning sidewalks

    wishing Lord that I was stoned

    'cause there is something in a Sunday

    that makes a body feel alone

    and there's nothin' short of dyin'

    half as lonesome as the sound

    on the sleepin' city side walks

    Sunday mornin' comin' down

    In the park I saw a daddy

    with a laughing little girl who he was swingin'

    and I stopped beside a Sunday school

    and listened to the song that they were singin'

    then I headed back for home and

    somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringin'

    and it echoed thru the canyon like

    the disappearing dreams of yesterday.

    Chorus:

    On the Sunday morning sidewalks

    wishing Lord that I was stoned

    'cause there is something in a Sunday

    that makes a body feel alone

    and there's nothin' short of dyin'

    half as lonesome as the sound

    on the sleepin' city side walks

    Sunday mornin' comin' down.

    is this the song you meant

    help me makw it through the night

    Take the ribbons from your hair

    Shake it loose and let it fall

    Lay it soft against you skin

    Like the shadows on the wall

    Come and lay here by my side

    Tell the Earth upon you lied

    All I'm takin' is your time

    Help me make it through the night

    I don't know what's right or wrong

    I don't try to understand

    Let the devil take tomorrow

    'Cause tonight I need a drink

    Yesterday's dead and gone

    And tomorrow's out of sight

    Yes, it saddenss me long

    Help me make it through the night

    Yes, it saddenss me long....

    Help me make it through the night.
