"Sing us one of your songs May" ( Bill Fay )

Sing us one of your songs May,
the ones you know so well
Sing us one of your songs May,
you know we love you well
Dry the tears from your eyes May,
what's it gonna be
For you know he's gone to Heaven May,
though he was only 23
They say he was a brave one May
and we all agree
There never was a finer one May,
that died for his country
Sing us one of your songs May.



A marcial simplicidade com que Bill Fay aborda este tema tem tanto de brilhante quanto de incómodo. Uma das suas mais belas e eloquentes criações, "Sing us one of your songs May" foi publicada pela primeira vez no álbum "Bill Fay" ( Deram Nova SDN 12 ) em 1970.
