Once there was a Sunday son Just sit and watch the cattails blow Just another mixed up kid Couldn't figure out how the sky was so big Doesn't know the answers But he still asks all the questions Does day deserve a night? Doesn't know the answers But he still asks all the questions He doesn't want to fight You know there was a Sunday sun He got expelled, but it ain't his fault It's just a Midwest thing Just sit and watch the cattails blow Doesn't know the answers But he still asks all the questions Does day deserve a night? Doesn't know the answers But he still asks all the questions He doesn't want to fight He dreamed of St. Petersburg that night The snow fell through the lamp post light Love so much like you do at 17, at 17 Once there was a way to get back home Somebody once said that, they're not alone Just watch the chimney smoke blow And wander down that road alone Doesn't know the answers But he still asks all the questions Does day deserve a night? Doesn't know the answers But he still asks all the questions Does day destroy a night? Doesn't know the answers But he still asks all the questions He doesn't know the game Doesn't know the answers But he still asks all the questions He doesn't want to fight
