May, now the sun has slipped away
Leaving the cold
Oh, how swift the night unfolds

May, now that light has left the day
Darkness appears
Oh, let me hold you near 

So take my hand and trust me my love
Wherever we may go
Together through the world

May, now the blue has turned to grey
Summer fades fast
Oh, how soon the leaves must fall

May, now the swallows fly away
Follow the sun
Oh, how quickly love's undone 

So hurry love and take my heart
Wherever you may go
Alone through the world 

No one can touch us now
We have our love
And though we can't hold the summer for long
May you will leave though our love carries on 

No one can touch you now
We had our love
And though the winter will come much too soon
May you must fly by the silver of moon 

No one can touch us now
We had our love
And though the seasons will change much too soon
May you must fly by the silver of moon
