From the recording A Spaceship On The Ocean Floor
Lyrics
MAYLIGHT
Don’t you feel it slipping away, the tension that fills your days, all your wishes for happiness - the bottom of your well’s a mess. I been lying out here at sea, thinking should I walk or just be me, but now it’s easier to believe ‘cause it’s coming to get me
It’s a maylight, it’s a maylight, things are always coming round again, these things I thought I’d never believe are coming to get me
It’s been a while yeah but now you see it - it’s a magic world we’re in, such a magic world
they took you down but you didn’t believe ‘em, it’s a magic world we’re in, such a magic world
So come on and touch me, now I can dance like I really believe, sing a song in to my ear, throw out the past throw out the fear, throw out these things you’ve been told are true, throw out these things between me and you, throw out these ideas of what we should be, climb the cliff, jump in to the sea -
It’s a maylight, it’s a maylight, things are always coming round again, these things I thought I’d never believe are coming to get me, it’s a maylight, it’s a maylight, just when I thought I’d reached the end, these things I thought I’d never believe are coming to get me
It’s been a while but now you see it - it’s a magic world we’re in, such a magic world
they took you down but you didn’t believe ‘em, it’s a magic world we’re in, such a magic world
