5 Days in May (Live at Massey Hall)

Lyrics

[Intro] One, two, one, two [Verse 1] They met in a hurricane Standing in the shelter out of the rain She tucked a note into his hand Later on, they took his car Drove on down where the beaches are He wrote her name in the sand Never even let go of her hand [Verse 2] Somehow they stayed that way For those five days in May Made all the stars around them shine It's funny how you can look in vain Livin' on nerves and such sweet pain A loneliness that cuts so fine Find the face you've seen a thousand times [Chorus] Sometimes the world begins To set you up on your feet again And I know it wipes the tears from your eyes And how will you ever know The way that circumstances go? Always gonna hit you by surprise But I know my past You were there In everything I've done You are the one [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Looking back it's hard to tell Why they stood while others fell Spend your life working it out All I know is one cloudy day They both just ran away Rain on the windshield headed sound Oh, she loved the lines around his mouth [Chorus] Sometimes the world begins To set you up on your feet again And I know it wipes the tears from your eyes And ow will you ever know The way that circumstances go? Always gonna hit you by surprise Well, I know my past You were there In everything I've done You are the one [Instrumental Outro]
