Miss May is a real person. Maybe one day I shall send her this song...

lyrics

The other day I saw a girl
With golden hair, she walked like you
She crossed the road in faded jeans
Her feet were bare inside her shoes

And though I knew you’d never be
So far away from the sea
I couldn’t help but say
It’s Miss May

You disappeared into the crowd
I called you name, cried it aloud?
But as it wasn’t really you
There wasn’t much that I could do

It’s been so long in any case
You might not even know my face
Or call to mind my name...

I found a pile of letters
In a cupboard by the stair
Exactly where I left them
when I safely stored them there

Wrapped in a coloured ribbon
Tied around a strand of hair
Written in your hand
Miss May
(Miss May)
Why’d you have to walk away?

I’ll write a song and sing it
To the wind that blows towards the sea
I’ll write a letter in fine blue ink and
hang it from a wishing tree

I’ll climb to where to river starts
And send a message from the heart -
I’ll send the mountain down
Rock by rock and grain by grain
So it carries past the plain

Miss May,
Why'd you have to walk away?
(Miss May)
When you see me won't you stay?
