May '45 Songtext
von Delays

Decades light up even in your old age
Finds you haven in your birdcage
Breaking curfew like a child
Her face lives in pictures of a lost age
Oh, that′s precious to a hostage
Oh, you're ailing but alive

And she waved goodbye
But the last you ever loved was in May of ′45
When everyone loved her and every blue soldier
Never stepped out of line


Ooh, die for only men who were the fight for
Torch you carried through a world war
Love's remaining out of time
We cleared the sky
But the last you heard her name was in May of '45
When everyone called her suffer in rapture
Ringing in Auld Lang Syne

To recall
To recall
To recall
To recall

To recall
In time this carnival will bleed
Under the shadow of the moon
And you pray old age won′t dull her name
And you pray old age won′t dull her name
And you pray old age won't dull her name
And you pray old age won′t dull her name
And you pray old age won't dull her name
And you pray old age won′t dull her name
