Lyrics: May 1, 1990
Album: Here
Artist: Adrian Belew
 

I lived inside a tear
Time magnified my fear
That the world around me
Was only getting more severe

On may 1, 1990
Something changed inside me
And i saw the stars align
And i knew that it was meant to be

I didn’t know at the time
My heart was on the line
But the world was turning
And suddenly the sun was shining

On may 1, 1990
Something changed inside me
And i saw the stars align
And i knew that it was meant to be

In a city by the sun

Maybe when you saw me then
You thought i had the world at my feet
Maybe when you looked again
You saw how i was empty
In a city by the sun

On may 1, 1990
Something changed inside me
And i saw the stars align
And i knew that it was meant to be

In a city by the sun
