The Mountain Goats – Tell Me On A Sunday lyrics

don't write a letter
when you want to leave
don't call me at three 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 just deep conversation
I know the way
I want to spend that day

take me to the zoo
with big chimpanzees
tell me on a sunday please

don't want to know who's to blame
won't help knowing
I don't want to fight day and night
it's bad enough that you're going
don't leave in silence - no words at all
don't get mad and slam the door
it's no way to end this

I know how I
want you to say goodbye
by the circus tent with a big trapeeze
tell me on a sunday please

I don't want to fight day and night
it's bad enough that you're going
don't leave in silence - no words at all
don't get mad and slam the door
it's no way to end this

I know how I
want you to say goodbye

don't run 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
