about

Another Rob Karp/Mike Mannino song. This time, we took it pretty much as it was. Just Bystanderizing it and playing Mike’s use of the harmonic for all it’s worth. Rob explains that the song “was written during a very creative period during the late '90's. Our guitar player Mike [Mannino] had mentioned he had a bunch of riffs he was looking to add lyrics to. He started playing the main riff to Rainy Sunday and the lyrics came out off the top of my head. An hour later we had a song that I still think might be the best one I've been involved in.”

lyrics

Rainy Sunday Morning, Laying in my bed
Music on the Radio, your voice in my head
Been two weeks and several days, sleepless nights and all
I’ve been wondering where you are, wondering if you’ll call
Reaching out to find you girl, why’d you run away
Wondering if I’ll ever find my way out of this rainy Sunday morning
Raindrops on the window pain, all the morning dew
I’ve been calling all your friends, don’t know what to do
Clouds are passing overhead, reminding me your gone
Birds are singing on the wire, sing all morning long.
Reaching out to find you girl, why’d you run away
Wondering if I’ll ever find my way out of this rainy Sunday morning
Rainy Sunday Morning, Laying in my bed
Music on the Radio, your voice in my head
Been two weeks and several days, sleepless nights and all
I’ve been wondering where you are, wondering if you’ll call
Reaching out to find you girl, why’d you run away
I would drop down on my knees, just tell me what to say
I would do must anything to get out of this rainy Sunday morning.
