That Day In May
Just what is it you're looking for
in the month of May
when blue and green merge as lovers
it's as good a start as any
much like the day you said I do
if you don't know
keep wishing you had a mother
to teach you proper things
just what is it you're looking for
certainly can't be that difficult
to take a moment and cogitate
who do you think would miss the morning scene
afternoon's still breath and kiss you as if you're real
the tears, oh the tears flow
'cause you don't know, but look around
it's always been so
for those who live with wonder
maybe Darwin knows
why you turned out just so
who can be bothered with such small talk .
shoulder the burden until you know
who asked you to solve the problem
that plagued us all since the rib was taken
but apparently no wiser since blue married green
that special day in May
