Mayfly mayfly
Dying to get born
Mayfly mayfly
Dying to get born
Oh mayfly
Your wings are tired
And they're torn
Mayfly mayfly
Only last a while
Mayfly mayfly
Only last a while
Oh mayfly
You take your little cup
And drink it dry
Mayfly born in the springtime baby
Never gonna see the fall
One sweet night on silver wings
And never come back at all
Mayfly born in the midnight darling
Never gonna see the day
Take a little time to fall in love
And then he goes on his way
Mayfly mayfly
Life's a sweet little thing
Mayfly mayfly
Life's a sweet little thing
Oh mayfly
Barely time enough to sing
