lyrics

Eve of May

Some are born the seventh child,
And some before or after.
Some are born in sorrow
And some are born in laughter.
How was it for you?

Some are born in winters grip.
And some in summers sweetness.
Some are born in autumn’s gold,
And some in springs new promise
How was it for you?

Well, another person’s kinship,
Is a thing in life you can not own,
But mine to you I freely give,
And with it all these seeds we’ll grow
And winter will surely come
As summer comes in with this day.
But every year I will wish you well,
Always, on the eve of May.

Some are born to gallant deed,
And some to life’s misfortune.
Some walk always with the sun,
And some always with the moon.
How was it for you?
