Paul Weller - Mayfly Lyrics






In the midnight
Can you hear me?
In the madness
Ooh, can you see me?

Mmm, I am waiting
Like a mayfly

It's a cold night
For a May time
In the moonlight
Is there no sign?

Mmm, I am waiting
Like a mayfly
Cold and lonely
Waiting for daylight

As the mayfly
As the mayfly

Take me back there again
Let me feel the same way
As I always used to say
While there's still time, mmm
While there's still time, mmm

I am waiting
Oh, I am waiting
Yeah, I keep waiting
Waiting for daylight

As the mayfly
As the mayfly

Take me back there again
Let me feel the same way
As I always used to say
While there's still time, mmm

But as I grow every day
Tryna switch off the rain
And join hands in the joy we felt
While there's still time, mmm
While there's still time, mmm

Oh, endless sleep
Perchance to dream
As a mayfly
Oh, endless sleep
Perchance to dream
As a mayfly
Mmm, as a mayfly
Mmm, as a mayfly

    After hearing Aspects and then Moving On, couldn't wait to get the album. He hasn't disappointed. Mayfly and White Horses among others are taking Mr Weller back to where he is at his best. This has got to be rated as one of his best solo albums.and I have them all.

  14. S.... H....

    I love his acoustic stuff.  Think it's what he does best.  Always loved the songs, English Rose and Fly on All Mod Cons and That's Entertainment, Riverbank, Liza Radley etc.  who can forget the sublime Spring, Summer, Autumn and Bloodsports, Whole Point... from the Council days.  Like his electric songs too but this is what he does the best.  Cheers Paulo, yet another gem to brighten this drab and colourless world.

  15. T.... S....

    True meanings... weller musical poet just keeps on giving .... we are blessed ... TOP ALBUM 👌

  16. r.... W....

    Weller does it again .just listened to true meanings in its entirety.this is right up there with Stanley road.all mod cons and sound affects as regaurds top class albums.feet up and drink this album in. Love 💕 to all.

    r.... W....

    @ron Webster this album is contrite shite. Weller lost his spark a long time ago. But as he said it pays the mortgages & divorce settlements. Maybe next he'll make a swing album with Adele! Chris Parry heard the demos of tracks Weller wrote for the upcoming 3rd Jam album & told him they were shit. Then All Mod Cons appeared. Someone needs to tell him again...

    r.... W....

    Stephen Wilkinson cheers Stephen have a great day ron

    r.... W....

    Jack D'Ripa you are an utter knob head , make no doubt about it - who obviously hasn’t got a clue about music - there’s only one muppet here and one
    who also hides behind a stupid name

    r.... W....

    @Martin Powell another weller poodle barking displeasure because someone's opinion differs from his.
    Piss off you asswipe!
    Anyone called Martin is a dickhead.

    r.... W....

    @Jack D'Ripa No music is 'crap'. It's all about personal taste and opinion, and obviously this album sounds like it's not your cup of tea at all, and that's fine. Others will undoubtedly find this different tack very pleasing, as I do. Yes, it's not 'All Mod Cons' or 'Stanley Road', it's a completely different album, but I think that comments from others here express their like for this one, and may just become a frequent visitor to the turntable, as per Weller's other best works.
