hey Corpus Christi
though not the loveliest beaches
like a lover's arms that reaches for me
you draw me in in a way I can't refuse
hey Corpus Christi
though murky in waves' reflection
got a sweet sincere affection drives me
wild, drives away my blues
no exotic isle can make me smile
the way I laugh with you
no famous sands with velvet hands
can hold me like you do
hey Corpus Christi
no rich man's destination
but when I need a vacation from this
world, my worries're made easy to lose
hey Corpus Christi
when we dance across your jetties
seashell sun sparkled confettis shower
down and no other would I choose
the way your waves make me sway
you're like a rhythm to my soul
fill my life up with your tides
flood in and make me whole
hey Corpus Christi
no rich man's destination
but when I need a vacation from this
world, my worries're made easy to lose
tall and tan and young and lovely
the girl from Corpus Christi goes walking
and when I wave she smiles
and takes hold of me
yeah, Corpus Christi
you and your lovely beaches
are like a lover's arms that reaches for me
draws me in in a way I can't refuse
yeah, Corpus Christi
I don't care about your complexion
cuz your sweet sincere affection
mm, it drives away my blues
hey Corpus Christi
a da ba dabba da da
a da ba dabba doo wa
and no other would I choose
bop, ba da, da ba ba
yeah, Corpus Christi
ah dabba dabba ba ba
a da da

May
cool spring's promise of greens and shade trees
burned away by sudden summer sun,
came too soon, it came too soon
fall's dry curse has brought you to your knees
dead cold in winter's grip, will you never come again?
May, sweet May, May, May...
why'd you have to go away?
May, my dear sweet May...
passion's heat and lonesome's chill waylay
to mark off weeks afore a single day of May
summer's heat bore down from blue burning Sun
and like Icarus up you flew
flew too high, flew too soon
but it wasn't your choice to come undone
someone else took you there, never to return again
May, sweet May, May, May...
burned and left to go astray
May, my dear sweet May...
passon's heat and lonesome's chill now fray
the ends before begins a single day of May
foundation ripped from under you
yet now they say to build anew
but with wobbly knees and stick-like arms
how can you keep yourself from harm?
oh May, sweet, sweet May...
did no one keep the wolf at bay
from May, my dear sweet May...
it's hard to dream when you can't sleep
it's hard to sleep when you don't dream
it's hard to dream when you can't sleep
it's hard to sleep when you don't dream
yes, it's hard to dream of
May, sweet May
May, May, May, May
yeah, May, my dear sweet May
why'd you have to go away?
May, sweet May, May, May...
cold space pulls into the black, spins the earth
for another time round and round
spins too fast, spins too soon
your turn to push it on, show your worth
but how to move the heavens and live again
when you were barely holding on to start with?
oh May, my dear sweet May...
by summer's sun done burned away
came too soon, it came too soon
burned away by sudden summer sun,
came too soon, it came too soon
fall's dry curse has brought you to your knees
dead cold in winter's grip, will you never come again?
May, sweet May, May, May...
why'd you have to go away?
May, my dear sweet May...
passion's heat and lonesome's chill waylay
to mark off weeks afore a single day of May
summer's heat bore down from blue burning Sun
and like Icarus up you flew
flew too high, flew too soon
but it wasn't your choice to come undone
someone else took you there, never to return again
May, sweet May, May, May...
burned and left to go astray
May, my dear sweet May...
passon's heat and lonesome's chill now fray
the ends before begins a single day of May
foundation ripped from under you
yet now they say to build anew
but with wobbly knees and stick-like arms
how can you keep yourself from harm?
oh May, sweet, sweet May...
did no one keep the wolf at bay
from May, my dear sweet May...
it's hard to dream when you can't sleep
it's hard to sleep when you don't dream
it's hard to dream when you can't sleep
it's hard to sleep when you don't dream
yes, it's hard to dream of
May, sweet May
May, May, May, May
yeah, May, my dear sweet May
why'd you have to go away?
May, sweet May, May, May...
cold space pulls into the black, spins the earth
for another time round and round

oh May, my dear sweet May...
by summer's sun done burned away
came too soon, it came too soon
