BEHIND THE SONG: "John Hadley and I wrote this with Dutch songwriter and performer, Ad Vanderveen. Guitar and tuba and vocal. What a combo!" ~ David Olney

lyrics

Sad Saturday Night written by David Olney, John Hadley, Ad Vanderveen (Red Lilly Music, ASCAP; Hadley Six Music, BMI; Songsense Music, BUMA/STEMRA)

It's a sad, sad, sad Saturday night
It's a sad, sad, sad Saturday night
No music, no laughter, no happy ever after in sight
Everyone's gone on a sad Saturday night

There's a full moon shining tonight through the trees
But there's a dark blue shadow between you and me
Silence is everywhere silence is not meant to be

On a sad, sad, sad Saturday night
On a sad, sad, sad Saturday night
No music, no laughter, no happy ever after in sight
Just a sad, sad, sad Saturday night

The streetlights are on, my footsteps are all I can hear
The sound of that train in the distance, so cold and so clear
I could walk these streets all night long and still wind up here

On a sad, sad, sad Saturday night
On a sad, sad, sad Saturday night
Come Sunday or Monday or someday it might be alright
But it's hard to believe on a sad Saturday night

This town is as empty, as empty as my broken heart
I could tell you my story but why even start
Everything's changed since you and I drifted apart

On a sad, sad, sad Saturday night
On a sad, sad, sad Saturday night
No music, no laughter, no happy aver after in sight
On a sad, sad, sad Staurday night
