Lyrics for London May

Leave it to solitude all along Only the lonely can be so strong Never has anyone made such a fuss Death looks in the window as only death must Or you will find that with thoughtful action you will rise Never to suffer, never to die Maybe we'll always be this way After our horrific night comes bright day You may want to stay Lose yourself in another wild night On and on and on and on Need to decide who will win this fight Devil will say your time's come and gone Or you will find that things have come to coincide Now is the time to die Maybe we'll always be this way After our horrific night comes bright day Yellow and gray (Yellow and gray) Love Overcomes Nothing Despite One's Needs Maybe we'll always be this way After our horrific night comes bright day You may want to stay (You may want to stay) Maybe we'll always be this way After our terrific night comes dark day You may run away Yes you may Yes you may Yes you may
