Story Behind the Song
The lovelorn lyrics and bluesy flavor of the piece are inspired by torch songs from the 1930's.
Lyrics
Wandering and lonely,
I think of you only under
Sunday skies.
My memories own me,
The future I can't see,
How gray my life.
Sunday skies.
Muttering your name,
The numberless days they just
Pass me by.
No more words to say,
Just question my fate as I
Wonder why.
Sunday skies.
Shades of blue all left with you,
It's gray and still.
Thoughts so true of joining you,
I wait until.
The hour is upon me,
I wake now to find you
Asleep in my heart.
The time has come finally,
To leave this gray place that now
Keeps us apart.
Sunday skies.
