Earle, Steve - Saturday Night And Sunday Morning Lyrics






If I was Saturday night
And you were Sunday morning
For a fleeting moment we could touch at midnight
And in that moment, could you really know me?
But I am looking 'cross the river
Longing to be near
The water is too wide, I can not reach you
I'm as close as I can ever hope to be

And if I was Winter dying
And you the virgin Spring
Gladly to your warmth I would surrender
To melt the snows and set the rivers free
But I am standing on the mountain
Longing to be near
Heaven is too high, I can not reach you
I'm as close as I can ever hope to be

And if you were the water that He turned into wine
And you could satisfy a drunkard's thirst
Well, I'd surely drink until I could not see
But I am lost in the Devil's storm
Longing to be near
The wind, it blows too hard, I can not reach you
I'm as close as I can ever hope to be

And if I was Saturday night
And you were Sunday morning
For a fleeting moment we could touch at midnight
And in that moment, could you really know me?

  1. D.... ....

    Great song, sung properly by Steve...

  2. M.... L....

    Yes, Steve, it is a perfect song - and you sing it perfectly.

  3. A.... ....

    Some songs cut so deep that i can't listen to em anymore

  4. B.... ....

    Absolutely stunning rendition of David Olney's masterpiece.

  5. w.... ....

    This is one of the saddest songs I have ever heard. But it is really good.

  6. s.... ....

    True... Still glad he put that part of his life behind him for good.

  7. d.... ....

    This was 1991 and he wasn't locked up until late in 1994. But he really started to bottom out after this. He had pretty much stopped performing by 92, then spent a couple years essentially living on the streets.

  8. b.... ....

    O2 thankyou so much I am a huge Steve fan but I never seen this. I,can't believe I had never heard olneys stuff his name nut not songs thank you so much I am gonna check him out. Please keep post you have really made my day,week,life cheers !

  9. I.... T....

    @starkneked
    I am jealous that you got to meet him- but, yes, everything I read suggests he is pretty intense and high-energy. I agree, it is great that he is still alive and making music!

    d.... ....

    I've met him five times, six months ago was the latest time. He took a few moments to chat every time. And yes, he is high energy and intense, and a real cool cat too...

  11. s.... ....

    I'm glad he finally slew that dragon. I met him once. He's an intense fellow. It seems to me that he takes most things in life way too seriously. I do appreciate his standing up for his beliefs and not being bullied!

  12. d.... ....

    @starkneked
    Yes - I don't think he made it to those festivals he is talking about. This is right before the wheels came off the bus, as he says.

  13. s.... ....

    Chasing the dragon! Wow, he was strung out...

  14. j.... ....

    Thanks for introducing me to this song.

  15. o.... ....

    Songwriting heaven as far as I'm concerned....Steve doing his former room mates great song!

  16. l.... ....
