Lyrics
Sunday Afternoon (Music by Mill's End, Lyrics by Jeff Bump) copyright 2012
Sunday afternoon call, hey Mom, how are you?
There's nothing new to tell
Been so long since Dad's been gone
Still hard to speak of
How's my sister? Hope she's doing well
Been pretty hectic these days
Nothing new to tell, nothing new to tell
If you could read between the lines
I'm scared out on my own
Never meant for it to happen this way
Small talk smoothes it all for now
Small talk it smoothes it all
Sunday afternoon call, how's everything going?
I can hear that tear in your eye
Better change the subject, better change the subject
If you could read between the lines
I'm scared out on my own
Never meant for it to happen this way
Small talk smoothes it all for now
Small talk it smoothes it all
Sunday afternoon call, he was such a good man
He deserves much better than this
Still hard to speak of, much to hard to speak of
If you could read between the lines
I'm scared out on my own
Never meant for it to happen this way
Small talk smoothes it all for now
Small talk it smoothes it all
