Gordon Lightfoot - Saturday Clothes (Live)

Saturday Clothes Lyrics:

I’m sittin’ here alone with my Saturday clothes
And a sink full of dishes that won’t wash themselves
The radio’s playin’ a tune that I know
And I’m thinkin’ of you and the way that it felt
The sun’s goin’ down, the day’s growin’ cold
The streets are alive with the young and the old
I’m stuck in this room with my Saturday blues
And I’m wonderin’ where all our good times got to
We used to go walkin’ through fields full of green
With the sky up above like a wide open dream
Your hand in my hand, and the world seemed so right
But now I’m just sittin’ here under the night
The clock on the wall keeps tickin’ away
Each second’s a memory of brighter days
I’d trade all my tomorrows to have you back here
In my Saturday clothes with a smile and a tear
So I’ll pour me a coffee, I’ll light up a smoke
And think of the laughter and words that we spoke
My Saturday clothes and this empty old chair
Remind me of you, though you’re no longer there

Gordon Lightfoot was a Canadian singer-songwriter who achieved worldwide success and helped define the singer-songwriter era of the 1970s. Widely considered one of Canada's greatest songwriters, he had numerous gold and platinum albums, and his songs have been covered by many of the world's most renowned musical artists. Lightfoot's biographer Nicholas Jennings wrote, "His name is synonymous with timeless songs about trains and shipwrecks, rivers and highways, lovers and loneliness."
Lightfoot's songs, including "For Lovin' Me", "Early Morning Rain", "Steel Rail Blues", "Home From The Forest", and "Ribbon of Darkness", a number one hit on the U.S. country chart for Marty Robbins, brought him recognition from the mid-1960s. Chart success with his own recordings began in Canada in 1962 with the No. 3 hit "(Remember Me) I'm the One" and led to a series of major hits at home and abroad throughout the 1970s. Robbie Robertson of The Band described Lightfoot as "a national treasure". Bob Dylan said, "I can't think of any Gordon Lightfoot song I don't like. Every time I hear a song of his, it's like I wish it would last forever." Lightfoot was the featured musical performer at the opening ceremonies of the 1988 Winter Olympics and received numerous honors and awards during his career.
