Lyrics
The Fifteenth of May
© 2005 kate laurel smith, kate laurel publishing/ASCAP
You see nothing in the small talk
No patterns in the sidewalk
Just the setting sun
And the day is done again
You hear nothing when the wind blows
No whispers in the late shows
You?re just waiting on
An answer gone away
Will there be another song to play
If the one you?ve been given has wasted away?
It?s almost the fifteenth of May
It?s almost the funeral of another day
What?s the significance, you say
It?s only just the fifteenth of May
And another day fades away?
You find nothing in the phone calls
No value in the whitewalls
All worn away
Just another day to kill
And you might as well forget here
She?s burning all the letters
No satellite
Her dead of night to fill
Will there be another life to live
If the one you?ve been livin?
Just had to give?
It?s almost the fifteenth of May
It almost the funeral of another day
What?s the significance, you say
It?s only just the fifteenth of May
Just the fifteenth of May, just another day
Only just the fifteenth of May
Finding out that you and I were done
Meant as much to you as the number twenty-one
Just another year spent without anyone but you
But you don?t seem to mind, now do you?
