Lyrics
May
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It was a dark night, when I heard the news
Rolled up my sleeves and walked
Like a landslide, overly abused
Yet told myself to call
Yes my mother, vaguely confused
She told me not to bawl
Bawl my eyes, ‘cause my eyes are red
With nothing left at all
So I gather, my composure
Head quickly for the door
And yet alarm bells ring, maybe not enough
Frequent the lady called
Called me, your grandmother, I loved her so much more
Than nobody else, left on this earth
I’m in this state of raw
As we marched through the madness
April was unclear
Suddenly it turned to sadness
Hopes turned into fears
And it was May, it was May, it was May, it was May
Guess it was a day, the day of reckoning
Six feet beneath the soil
Yet we held on, held each other tight
With standards soon to storm
‘Cause we’re here now, yes we’re here now
Moments like this are raw
It's my family tree planting it's roots stronger than before
As we marched through the madness
April was unclear
Suddenly it turned to sadness
Hopes turned into fears
And it was May, it was May, it was May, it was May
You left
You left
Without a chance to say
Without a chance to say goodbye at all
A chance to say goodbye at all
As we marched through the madness
April was unclear
Suddenly it turned to sadness
Hopes turned into fears
And it was May, it was May, it was May, it was May
