Blue Rodeo - 5 Days In May lyrics

rate me

They met in a hurricane<br />

Standing in the shelter out of the rain<br />

She tucked a note into his hand<br />

Later on they took his car<br />

Drove on down where the beaches are<br />

He wrote her name in the sand<br />

Never even let go of her hand <br />

<br />

Somehow they stayed that way <br />

For those 5 days in May<br />

Made all the stars around them shine<br />

Funny how you can look in vain<br />

Living on nerves and such sweet pain<br />

The loneliness that cuts so fine<br />

To find the face you've seen a thousand times <br />

<br />

Sometimes the world begins<br />

To set you up on your feet again<br />

And oh It wipes the tears from your eyes<br />

How will you ever know<br />

The way that circumstances go<br />

Always going to hit you by surprise<br />

I know my past<br />

You were there<br />

In everything I've done<br />

You are the one <br />

<br />

Looking back it's hard to tell <br />

Why they stood while others fell<br />

Spend your life working it out <br />

All I know is one cloudy day<br />

They both just ran away<br />

Rain on the windshield heading South<br />

She loved the lines around his mouth <br />

<br />

Sometimes the world begins <br />

To set you up on your feet again <br />

It wipes the tears from your eyes <br />

How will you ever know <br />

The way that circumstances go <br />

Always going to hit you by surprise <br />

I know my past<br />

You were there<br />

In everything I've done<br />

You are the one
