Mayfly Lyrics by Jade (UK)

Fly On Strangewings

0

Oh the mayfly that swum the waters
Has now opened its wings to the sky
It lifts its head up and in a short while
Will sail the wind, oh by and by
It's opened its wings and caught the sunlight
It's opened its wings and caught the breeze
Oh such splendour and such colours shine
Like raindrops through its wings
It's left the flowers, it's left the lakeside
And soars above the water top
It spends the day in perfect splendour
And circles round the summer lake
Soon it's dying, the day is over
Very soon without a sound
It will fall down, love, to the ground, love
And die amongst the summer grass
Oh how can it be that such a frail thing
That never does a moment's harm
Should fall down, love, to the ground, love?
Never more to sing its song
It's falling down, love, to the earth, love
I hear its song across the wind
Oh the mayfly that sailed the wind, love
Has closed its wings to the sky
