Mayfly mayfly
Dying to get born
Mayfly mayfly

Dying to get born
Oh mayfly
Your wings are tired

And they're torn

Mayfly mayfly

Only last a while
Mayfly mayfly
Only last a while

Oh mayfly
You take your little cup
And drink it dry


Mayfly born in the springtime baby
Never gonna see the fall

One sweet night on silver wings
And never come back at all


Mayfly born in the midnight darling
Never gonna see the day
Take a little time to fall in love

And then he goes on his way

Mayfly mayfly

Life's a sweet little thing
Mayfly mayfly
Life's a sweet little thing

Oh mayfly
Barely time enough to sing
