The fly of May
It lives one day
When that day is done
MayFly does not complain
It flies into the setting sun
It goes back to the place from which it came
The fly of May
Ask how, ask why
One day MayFly
That's all you get
You give no thought to it
Me, my life is long
With reasons few like you
When I go and when I'm gone
I will understand these things I never knew
The fly of May
One day, one day
One day, it's long enough
If you really think about it
The fly of May
It lives one day
The fly
One day
Of May
One day
The fly
One day
Of May
One day
It lives
One day
One day
One day
The fly of May
