lyrics

First Day of May

It’s raining at four am in Jackson
I’m trying to get you on the line
I can’t stop my heart from pouring
From the bottom of this bottle of wine

There are diamonds in the skies over Texas
It rolls out forever I know
Like the jewels in the eyes of my darling
With adventures yet to be told

Meet me by the old oak tree
Down by the Audubon zoo
Kiss me like you did on the first day of May
When the summer and our love was new

If I had my life to live over
There is only one different thing I could do
I would not wait so many years
Darling until I find you

I want to take you away from the things
Everyday that bring you down
Take my hand let's walk together
Until we are buried in the ground

-D.Dudeck
