Verse I

It's harsh to perish

In the midst of May

While all the springtime’s flags 

Are waving high

It’s hard to cherish

When hope fades away 

‘Cause in the midst of May

You’ll die

Verse II

It’s harsh to perish

In the midst of May

To melt away like winter's snow

To keep on running

Like the river's flow

Going with the tide 

Only one way to go

Chorus

The sun is dancing

Upon the river's face

Flowers color up

On the river's shore

The world keeps turning

Has it gone insane?

May is hanging on 

But you no more

Verse III

It's unfair to perish

In the midst of May

While all the ripening fruits

Are hanging high

It’s cruel to say

It's harder to conceive

That in the midst of May

You'll leave

Verse IV

It’s wrong to flourish

In the midst of May

When it’s sad to realize

And too painful to know

There can’t be laughter

After winter woes

I’m holding on to you

But I know you’ll go

Chorus

The sun is dancing

Upon the river's face

Flowers color up

On the river's shore

The world keeps turning

Has it gone insane?

May is hanging on 

But you no more

Bridge

Stars are drowning

Neath the river's crust

While Summer's air covers

Every breath of Fall

Everything keeps turning

But I’m standing still

I know there’s a silver lining

But grief darkens all

Verse V

It's harsh to perish

In the midst of May

Withering away

While nature grows

It’s harder to go on

Without a goodbye

But after the end of May

I’ll try

Chorus

The sun is dancing

Upon the river's face

Flowers color up

On the river's shore

The world keeps turning

Has it gone insane?

May is hanging on 

But you no more
