Lyrics

Stormy May Day

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

The storm is ragin', winds are howlin'

No one is callin' to rescue you

A flash of lightnin', our times are frightenin'

A rain is comin' and the sun don't shine

[Chorus]

Rain day, mayday

Mayday, stormy rain day

Rain day, mayday

Mayday, stormy rain day

[Post-Chorus]

Stormy mayday

Uh-huh, ooh

[Verse 2]

The sky is darkenin', the dogs are barkin'

A call for help, you hope they get you through

A clap of thunder, a split asunder

The people runnin' and the moon don't rise

[Chorus]

Rain day, mayday

Mayday, stormy rain day

[Outro]

Rain day, mayday

Rain day, stormy mayday

Rain day, mayday

Rain day, stormy mayday
