Merchant, Natalie - King Of May Lyrics

I sang this once with Jami Bantry playing guitar.....I have great memories, not of the performance, but of practicing with her in this room that echoed loudly....Jami isn't with us now.....but so happy and lucky that I got to perform this one with her.  Amazing song by Natalie....just  Amazing.

Magnífico

I'm shocked that she wrote a song for a Nambla member. Allen Ginsberg was a child predator.

My dad had cancer and he picked this song for his funeral it brings me to my knees every time i hear it. It breaks my heart he had to think about the end

Farewell today
Travel on now
Be on your way
Go safely there
And never worry never care
Beyond this day
Farewell tonight
To all joy and to all the life
Go on go peacefully
We can't keep your majesty
Be on your way
Make way for the last king of May
And make a cardboard crown for him
And make your voices one
Praise the crazy mother's son who loved his life
Farewell today
Travel on now
Be on your way
Can't bear the very thought that we
That we could keep your majesty
Be on your way
Make way for the last king of May
And make a hole in the cloud for him
Raise your voices up
Drink your loving cup
To his long life
To his long life
Make way for the last king of May
Make a hole in the sky for him
And raise your voices up
Lift your loving cup
To his long life
His long life
And raise your voices up
Lift you loving cup
To his long life
To his long life
His long life
His long life

RIP Allen Ginsberg

He was a nambla member and supporter...good riddance
