[Verse 1] The west is fading orange Your face the only glow It’s such a perfect view The reflection in your eyes I wish I could keep this moment frozen Before the severing of ties [Pre-Chorus] I'm listening, hanging on For my Lord’s lullaby I'm listening, hanging on For my Lord’s lullaby [Chorus] This Sunday afternoon I say goodbye, my love The air is still and soon I’ll miss you from above [Verse 2] They have shattered us This kind of love they won't survive The cruel verdict has been cast by hands not yours or mine I will gladly sacrifice Leave this heavy world behind The branch is strong, the rope is tight Tonight I’m going to fly [Bridge] Heaven waits beyond the shade of blue I will wait for you, I know you’d do it too A place where we are finally the same A place where no one knows our shame [Final Chorus] This Sunday afternoon I say goodbye, my love This Sunday afternoon I’ll wait for you forever [Outro] Singing my Lord’s lullaby Singing my Lord’s lullaby (Fade out)
