First of May

Lyrics

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
