5 Days In May Lyrics - Greatest Hits - Blue Rodeo

They met in a hurricane 

Standing in the shelter out of the rain 

She tucked a note into his hand 

Later on they took his car 

Drove on down where the beaches are 

He wrote her name in the sand 

Never even let go of her hand 

Somehow they stayed that way 

For those 5 days in May 

Made all the stars around them shine 

Funny how you can look in vain 

Living on nerves and such sweet pain 

A loneliness that cuts so fine 

Find the face you've seen a thousand times 

Sometimes the world begins 

To set you up on your feet again 

And I know it wipes the tears from your eyes 

How will you ever know 

The way that circumstances go 

Always gonna hit you by surprise 

But I know my past 

You were there 

In everything I've done 

You are the one 

Looking back it's hard to tell 

Why they stood while others fell 

All I know is one cloudy day 

They both just ran away 

Rain on the windshield heading south 

She loved the lines around his mouth 

Sometimes the world begins 

To set you up on your feet again 

It wipes the tears from your eyes 

How will you ever know 

The way that circumstances go 

Always gonna hit you by surprise 

I know my part 

You were there 

In everything I've done 

You are the one
