James Taylor — First of May lyrics

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
