And the light between us   Which we could not quite extinguish   Which we see at dawn   Burns on      First day of may   Things are beginning   Our side is winning   Hip hip hooray   Made in the shade   Deep in the shadow   Down by the meadow   Lie in my arms      And the moon will rise   Before our very eyes   We will rise too   I'll be with you   It's a rite of spring   A horizontal thing   The sweetest sort of dance   Hidden in among the plants      Ha ha ha ha   People are laughing   Children are singing   Come join the dance      And the walls around us   Which we kept at such a cost   When we turned around   Came tumbling down      Ha ha ha ha   She can't stop laughing   He can't stop singing   First day of may
