Heart of May

[Verse 1] A field of green fades to gold in the twilight, A game we all played, though we never got it right. The whistle calls, and the echoes drift away, You knew when to leave, though we begged you to stay. [Pre-Chorus] The clock keeps its rhythm, the hands turn slow, A quiet surrender, the way seasons go. [Chorus] And May brought the flowers, but the rain said goodbye, A bittersweet moment, a tear in the sky. Though shadows are longer, there’s light in the way, We remember you fondly in the heart of May. [Verse 2] The battles we fight, unseen by the crowd, A soldier of silence, both strong and unbowed. Your voice like a lantern, it guided the night, And now it’s a whisper that still burns bright. [Pre-Chorus] The wind sings your song in the trees' quiet sway, A story unfinished, yet complete in its way. [Chorus] And May brought the flowers, but the rain said goodbye, A bittersweet moment, a tear in the sky. Though shadows are longer, there’s light in the way, We remember you fondly in the heart of May. [Bridge] You said you were ready for a journey unknown, To a place where the weary finally go home. The stars lit the path where you walked into the blue, A part of us left, but it’s all still with you. [Chorus] And May brought the flowers, but the rain said goodbye, A bittersweet moment, a tear in the sky. Though shadows are longer, there’s light in the way, We remember you fondly in the heart of May. [Outro] So here’s to the memories, the love that remains, A song for the sunshine, a tune for the rains. All you have given to us, will never decay, We carry you always through the heart of May.
