From the recording The Earth Floats By
Lyrics
ooh who ooh
I've had better Mondays.
As we stood beneath the apple trees,
You talked of life.
You talked of meaning.
How you put the chords just so,
You touched the hearts
of many sorrows.
Ooh
I've had better Mondays.
We talked of scenes that always
seemed to change.
But of all these dreams I've had.
I really would like to understand.
Just why we seemed to talk
and the music never stopped.
Well maybe it was better off that way.
while we played.
ooh
Especially on Mondays.
Maybe there were other things for us to try to do.
People they move away
you'll find.
Through the fields of grass
we simply move on,
til I turn around and suddenly,
you're gone.
Well I believe in grace
and the glory of God's face.
So maybe someday we'll speak again
and play some songs.
ooh who ooh
I've had better Mondays.
