4TH DAY OF MAY


On the fourth day of May I will think of you
When Father Time is beating down your door
On the fourth day of May you'll be on my mind
Just like the other three hundred sixty four

Are you in love or are you crying
Do the candles make you turn in shame
Are you living fast or slowly dying
And why we're not together, oh who's to blame

On the fourth day of May I will think of you
Just like all the days that came before
On day one twenty four you'll be on my mind
Just like the other three hundred sixty four 
I-35 down to I-80
We headed west into the hills
I said "Can we now?" and you said "Maybe"
You always loved to travel without all the frills

On the fourth day of May I will think of you
When Father Time is rolling up the score
On day one twenty four you'll be on my mind
Just like the other three hundred sixty four 

You know, it's always someone's birthday
But it's always someone's funeral too
The future only makes you nervous
And if you don't learn, the past will only make you blue

On the fourth day of May I will think of you
Just like all the days that came before
On day one twenty four you'll be on my mind
Just like the other three hundred sixty four 
Oh, just like all the other three-six-four
