2nd Of May Lyrics - Water Rising - Lillian Axe

Sweet little babe walked away in the woods and got lost today 

No one ever heard her laugh again 

Some people say that she fell in the water 

But I knew her so well and she was afraid of the sea 

Where could she be? 

I've been drowning in the shallows 

And I fade away 

When I think of that day 

What did she say? 

Born on the 2nd of May 

Everyone's child disappeared as she ran to the woods to play 

Someone stole a gem beneath our eyes 

Some people say that she's sleeping below us 

And some people swear that she flew up to Heaven 

But I knew her so well and she was afraid of the dark 

Well, I've been drowning in the shallows (to be near you) 

And, I fade away 

When I think of that day 

What did she pray? 

Lost on the 2nd of May 

Some people say that the devil's among us 

But I knew him so well and he is afraid to be seen 

I've been drowning in the shallows 

And I fade away 

When I think of that day 

What did she say? 

Gone on the 2nd of May 

I've been drowning in the shallows 

And I fade away 

When I think of that day 

What did she pray? 

Dead on the 2nd of May 

I've been drowning in the shallows (to be near you)
