Lyrics The Mountain Goats

The Mountain Goats

Tell Me On a Sunday

Don't write a letter

When you want to leave

Don't call me at 3 a.m. from your friend's apartment

I'd like to choose

How I hear the news

Take me to a park that's covered with trees

Tell me on a Sunday, please

Let me down easy, no big song and dance

No long faces, no long looks, no deep conversation

I know the way

I want to spend that day

Take me to the zoo with fake chimpanzees

Tell me on a Sunday, please

Don't want to know who's to blame

Won't help knowing

I don't wanna fight, day and night

It's bad enough that you're going

Don't leave in silence, with no words at all

Don't get mad and slam the door

That's no way to end this

I know how I want you to say goodbye

Find a circus tent with a big trapeze

Tell me on a Sunday, please

I don't wanna fight day and night

It's bad enough that you're going

Don't leave in silence, with no word at all

Don't get mad and slam the door

That's no way to end this

I know how I want you to say goodbye

Don't ride off in the pouring rain

Don't call me as they call your plane

Take the hurt out of all the pain

Take me to a park that's covered with trees

Tell me on a Sunday, please
