May People Oh my soul save my bones Something is on the way Oh my soul save my bones Something is on the way My hands are floating in the air Smile�s on the closest coast Some salt water spray lays under one eye The other winks at winter�s ghost Flapping birches let loose their children Each to find their way None can seem to choose direction Without a little help from May May people lonely and free Settle back and watch it blow May the people lonely and free Grab a coat and wave hello Hello cold moon, where�s your hat There�s ice between your toes Oh my soul won�t you save my bones Nothing comes that never goes On your way now leafy children Whisper with the corn and hay And save a breath to shine next springtime With a little help from May May people lonely and free Settle back and watch it blow May the people lonely and free Grab a coat and wave hello
