ordinary sunday - athenrye lyrics

the sunday roast smelled good as i sat down to the table
i could hear my mother singing in the kitchen loud and clear
i joked my son about his latest girl and he turned scarlet red
the way that young boys do when they’re only seventeen
and it was just an ordinary sunday
a day of rest and worship for all the family
just an ordinary sunday and when that day was done
there was a stone where my heart used to be

mum had gone out visiting and i stayed home to have a rest
my boy had gone down town with friends to watch the march for peace
then the afternoon was shattered by the sound of distant firing
and i heard footsteps running to my door and then they ceased

and it was just an ordinary sunday
a day of rest and worship for all the family
just an ordinary sunday and when that day was done
there was a stone where my heart used to be

i went down to the morgue and found that 12 had been accounted for
but there was just one left that had to be identified
and there on a cold grey table on his wrist an unfilled label
lay flesh of my flesh with a bullet in his side
and it was just an ordinary sunday
a day of rest and worship for all the family
just an ordinary sunday and when that day was done
there was a stone where my heart used to be
