Mayfly
Belle and Sebastian
Letra

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 to
Because you saw him in the park
Because you saw him at the bridges with the people in the dark

Can I was the start of something big
You were there in the beginning
You were there to see him play
Mayfly, woken up when sky's 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 to
Because you saw him at the celebrations standing at the side
He had the moves to save the day
But 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 boys and girls away
You are concerned with matters lofty

But puzzled so it makes you sick
Your diary's looking like a 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
