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
