Lyrics:

Sunday flies like a bird on the wing and Monday comes too soon
With one breath the song is sung and the playtime’s done
We’ve no time for one more game

Used to be so easy to see the stars in the evening sky
Now they’re clouded over and cannot be seen for
Anxiety turns our faces to the ground

And all these things keep on pounding in your mind
Keeping you awake and
Just when you think you can finally let go
Monday has arrived

Thoughts and dreams and silly schemes, they tell you to put them away
Face the real world on your own two feet
But some times I think those are the only real things to me

So I look to the children because they know
the things I conveniently forget
They still laugh with the sun and sing to the moon and I
Pray that no one tells them Monday comes too soon.

And all these things keep on pounding in your mind
Keeping you awake and
Just when you think you can finally let go
Monday has arrived

Just when you think you can finally let go
Monday has arrived
