The Golden Dregs – The Thirst Of May lyrics

Well it might have been the first of May but if anything it felt more like the last
And nothing I could say was going to make you stay around
To see me grow so ugly and so fast
Do you really want to waste your life?
Well I think you'd make a good ex wife
Well it might have been the first of May but if anything it felt more like the last
And after months of contemplation, I finally accept things aren’t going as I planned
I awake in the night cold and damp from perspiration
My heart sinks as the dark fades I remember where I am
And every crumbling building tells

Of how we forget anything that treats us well
Well it might have been the first of May but I accept it wasn’t going as I planned
I never learned to swim so good but I’ll be damned if I’m letting myself drown
Card shuffling for a better hand is still hopeless when the pack remains face down
And if actions speak louder than words
Making a departure can’t be so absurd
I never learned to swim so good but I’ll be damned if I go letting myself drown
Well it started on the first of May but it pretty quickly ran into the last
And nothing I could say was going to make you stay around to see me grow so ugly and
So fast
And without stepping out of line
Maybe your second child will be mine
Well it started on the first of May but it pretty quickly ran into the last
