Sunday Afternoon Lyrics

Dream on
(Dream on, dream on...)
Dream another way
'cause I know
(I know, I know...)
When the wind blows your name
...It's a shame...
Things are strange but that's OK
On a rainy Sunday afternoon...
In your place
In our place
In the swarm
So from the great plains
...From the void...
I will wait for you
I!
I will wait for you...
I will!!
I will wait for you
I will wait alone.
Ain't it strange?
People change but that's OK
It's another night here, and all I'm thinking about is you.
In your place
In our place
In the swarm
So from the great plains
...From the void...
Yeah, from the deep field
...From the void...
I will wait for you...
I!
I will wait for you...
I will!!
I will wait for you

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I always have to think of this song when I drive home on a sunday afternoon after a weekend with my girlfriend. It describes really good my feelings when I realize, that it'll be almost a week until we'll meet again.
