the mayfly and the light

give your heart a moment

to feel what i'm about

give your heart a moment

you will feel that i'm feeling left out

you say good night and walk away

and i pray you will turn around

i gasp for air

i slowly drown

give your heart a moment

to feel what i'm about

i'm still hoping for the omen

that will take away the doubt

i keep on waiting for the day

you decide to turn around

without a thought

without a sound

can't you see that in the meantime

i'm just a bird without wings

and i am longing to take flight

unexplainable attraction

like a mayfly and the light

i'm just a bird without wings

and i am longing to take flight

but my hopes keep on disappearing

as you vanish out of sight

looking for the merchant

that can sell me your affection

i have been searching for the signs

been turning them inside-out

i am just a servant

like your shadow

your reflection

so please

give your heart a moment

to feel what i'm about

i will keep on waiting for the day

you accept my imperfection

without a sound

without a doubt

can't you see that in the meantime

i'm just a bird without wings

and i am longing to take flight

unexplainable attraction

like a mayfly and the light

i'm just a bird without wings

and i am longing to take flight

but my hopes keep on disappearing

as you vanish out of sight

i'm just a bird without wings

and i am longing to take flight

like a mayfly and the light

i'm just a bird without wings

and i am longing to take flight
