lyrics

I sat upon an ivy wall, I could see clouds were coming. 
And when the rain began to fall, I could hear flowers laughing. 
 
Wake up, wake up, you sleepyhead. 
I told you not to do that again.
The grass, he said, is not your bed. 
What could be wrong with that? 
 
Flower voices: 
Come if you want, follow us down into the ground,
into the brown earth where we all are listening. 
And when the wind comes whispering that it is spring then we begin, making our way up shivering. 
 
And when the walls come apart, when the wind blows. 
 
It goes up to the top. You are the May Queen. 
 
You are our May Queen. See how we sing. 
 
It was me, I finally was the May Queen.
