The parking lot is clean and
stripped real nicely
the sidewalks don't reveal a single crack
looks like the
steeple and the porch were modeled after
decorators architects with quite a knack
just
look at all the colors in those windows
that big front door must be of solid oak
see
those automatic sprinklers on a timing devise
so the shrubs and lawn can get a
real good soak
.
CHORUS:
What is that great big building on the corner?
the
one where everyone goes in at ten
just once a week on every Sunday morning
then
after twelve they all come out again
Who do you think that great big place belongs
to
with its columns and it's perfect quarried stone
but the biggest thing I
wonder is why all week long
it sits there so unused and all alone
.
VOCAL
BRIDGE:
So I waited and on one Sunday morning
after everyone arrived and went
inside
I slipped quiet as a mouse inside the doorway
and I found a little place
that I could hide ... and see ...
.
2nd VERSE:
I was taken by it's awe inspiring
beauty
with those chrystal chandeliers all hanging down
the furnishings and
the wood-work were so elegant
more than any other building in our town
There
was music and some very quiet singing
then a man got up and talked for quite a
while
but all the people looked like they were bored to death
without a hug,
a handshake, or a smile
.
REPEAT CHORUS:
What is that great big building
on the corner?
the one where everyone goes in at ten
just once a week on every
Sunday morning
then after twelve they all come out again
Who do you think that
great big place belongs to
with its columns and it's perfect quarried stone
but
the biggest thing I wonder is why all week long
it sits there so unused and all
alone
.
but the biggest thing I wonder is why all week long
it sits there
so unused ... and all alone ...
.
