Lyrics

Another Sunday in the Park Like This
words and music by Steve Farber

There are flies over here, they bite like crazy
And they just won't leave my legs alone
People stop and stare as I slap myself silly
At this picnic table that feels like home

That couple over there, they stare into nothing
Their kids push each other taking turns on the swing
I pretend their names are Mary and Billy
They pretend their names are Supergirl and The Thing

I once believed that I believed in nothing
I took on my shoulders the weight of all men
Now I believe in the slant of the sunlight
On the grain of my paper and the feel of this pen

Climb up on my shoulders, look back through the years
What do you see when you let go of your tears
Every tick of the clock, every joy, every fear
Has happened so you wouldn't miss
Another Sunday in the park like this

There are ants over here they tickle like crazy
And they just won't leave my feet alone
People stop and laugh as I kick myself silly
At this picnic table that feels like home

The couple over there they're running their retriever
She jumps and catches the ball with a twirl
I pretend her name is Ellie or Lucy
She pretends her name is Go Get It Girl

I once believed that I believed in nothing
I gave up my search for that mystical pearl
Now I believe in the wind through the oak leaves
And the scratch of the needle
Through that groove in the world

Climb up on my shoulders, look back through the years
What do you see when you let go of your fears
Every tick of the clock, every joy, every tear
Has happened so you wouldn't miss
Another Sunday in the park like this
