Mayflies - The Bergamot

Could evolution tell the story

Of dragonflies in their former glory

Oh eventually

These summer nymphs swimming in the water

Looking down

Oh they taught us

Life goes quickly

These generations

They come and go

We’re growing up

Now we’re growing old

Lay down lay down

Lay down lay down

The measure of the life we live

The love we take and the love we give

Oh and those mayflies

Those mayflies

I want to love you for the lives

Of a million mayflies

You and me

You and me

Baby

Mmm-hmm

We study the past for the future

But Aristotle means nothing to you

Old books on the shelf

The world we know

As the mayfly grows

It quickly comes and it quickly goes

Oh life’s mystery

We build our wings and learn to fly

Tear them apart again we try

Lay down lay down

Lay down lay down

The measure of the life we live

The love we take and the love we give

Oh and those mayflies

Those mayflies

I want to love you for the lives

Of a million mayflies

You and me

You and me

Baby

I want to love you for the lives

Of a million mayflies

You and me

You and me

Baby

Mmm-hmm

So the story goes

From the water, they grow

But life moves quickly

And they give it all up

For one shot at love

Wouldn’t you

Do the same?

I want to love you

I want to love you

I want to love you

I want to love you

I want to love you, baby

I want to love you, baby

I want to love you, baby

I want to love you
