As Sunday Goes By
60s Baroque Pop, Chamber Pop, featuring a dominant fingerpicked 12-string acoustic guitar with a bright, jangling tone. Lush, melancholic string quartet (violins, viola, cello) playing sustained chords and soaring emotional lines. Gentle, yearning male vocals with a slightly detached, youthful, and melancholic delivery (young Mick Jagger style). Minimal, light percussion featuring a soft, steady tambourine. Pastoral oboe or flute accents doubling the string melody. Nostalgic, bittersweet, wistful, dreamy, vintage 1960s analog production feel, approx 112 BPM

Lyrics
Verse 1
It is the evening of the day,
I sit and watch the light all fade away.
The laughing children I can hear no more,
And Monday's knocking at my door.
Chorus
My freedom's gone, it flies so high,
As Sunday slowly goes by.
My freedom's gone, I can only sigh,
As Sunday slowly goes by.
Verse 2
The TV's on, the shows all seem so gray,
They cannot push the coming dread away.
I think of meetings, deadlines I must keep,
And all the promises while I'm asleep.
Chorus
My freedom's gone, it flies so high,
As Sunday slowly goes by.
My freedom's gone, I can only sigh,
As Sunday slowly goes by.
Outro
(As Sunday goes by...)
(Mmm, Sunday goes by...)
(As Sunday... goes by...)
12-string guitar riff and strings fade to silence.
