King Of May Lyrics - Ophelia - Natalie Merchant

Farewell today, travel on now 

Be on your way, go safely there 

And never worry, never care 

Beyond this day 

Farewell tonight 

To all joy and to all your life 

Go on, go peacefully 

We can't keep your majesty, be on your way 

Make credit for the last King of May 

Make a cardboard crown for him 

And make your voices one 

Praise a crazy mother's son who loved his life 

Farewell today, travel on now, be on your way 

Can't bear the very thought that we 

That we could keep your majesty 

Be on your way 

Make credit for the last King of May 

Make a hole in the crowd for him 

Raise your voices up, drink your loving cup 

To his long life, to his long life, ooh 

Make credit for the last King of May 

Make a hole in the sky for him 

And raise your voices up, lift your loving cup 

To his long life, his long life 

And raise your voices up, lift your loving cup 

To his long life, to his long life 

His long life, his long life, to his long life
