Belle Sebastian Mayfly Lyrics

Mayfly Lyrics

Lovesick on a sunny afternoon

You are tired of staying in

You are waiting for a sign 

Mayfly, woken up when skys are clear

I don't mind you coming near

Keep me company 'till she comes again

You are the one who's making do

I am the one who's privy too

'Cause you saw him in the park

'cause you saw him at the bridges with the people in the dark



Cana was the start of something big

You were there in the beginning

You were there to see him play

Mayfly, woken up when skies are blue

I don't mind the sight of you

Keep me company 'till she comes again

You are the one who's making do

I am the one who's privy too

Because you saw him at the celebrations standing at the side

He had the moves to save the day

and you would love him anyway



Lovesick, it came back upon yourself

You are the one left on the shelf

You are incapable of playing the fool

Longing…so what's different today?

You sent the boy and girl away

You are concerned with matters lofty

But puzzled so it makes you sick

Your diary's looking like the bible with its verses lost in time

And lost in meaning for the people who surround you

It's a crying shame

You know it's a crying shame
