Lyrics for May 1, 1990

I lived inside a tear Time magnified my fear That the world around me Was only getting more severe On may 1, 1990 Something changed inside me And I saw the stars align And I knew that it was meant to be I didn't know at the time My heart was on the line But the world was turning And suddenly the sun was shining On may 1, 1990 Something changed inside me And I saw the stars align And I knew that it was meant to be In a city by the sun Maybe when you saw me then You thought I had the world at my feet Maybe when you looked again You saw how I was empty In a city by the sun On may 1, 1990 Something changed inside me And I saw the stars align And I knew that it was meant to be In a city by the sun
