And the light between us

Which we could not quite extinguish

Which we see at dawn

Burns on



First day of May

Things are beginning

Our side is winning

Hip hip hooray

Made in the shade

Deep in the shadow

Down by the meadow

Lie in my arms



And the moon will rise

Before our very eyes

We will rise too

I'll be with you

It's a rite of spring

A horizontal thing

The sweetest sort of dance

Hidden in among the plants



Ha ha ha ha

People are laughing

Children are singing

Come join the dance



And the walls around us

Which we kept at such a cost

When we turned around

Came tumbling down



Ha ha ha ha

She can't stop laughing

He can't stop singing

First day of May
