That Day In May

Just what is it you're looking for                                                                         
in the  month of May 
when blue and green merge as lovers                                                          
it's as good a start as any                                                                            
much like the day you said I do                                                                          
if you don't know                                                                                        
keep  wishing you had a mother                                                                         
to teach you proper things                                                                              
just what is it you're looking for                                                               
certainly can't be that difficult                                                                           
to take a moment and cogitate                                                                       
who do you think would miss the morning scene                                      
afternoon's still breath and kiss you as if you're real                                           
the tears, oh the tears flow 
'cause you don't know, but look around 
it's always been so                                                                                            
for those who live with wonder                                                                      
maybe Darwin knows                                                                                     
why you turned out just so                                                                             
who can be bothered with such small talk .                                                
shoulder the burden until you know                                                                 
who asked you to solve the problem                                                                
that plagued us all since the rib was taken                                                         
but apparently no wiser  since blue married green                                              
that special day in May
