Johnny Flynn - Churlish May lyrics

I met Jane in September's throe
January's grass, we let each other go
I met Helen on March's back
She took my coat and she stole my hat

I met you when the weather got fine
You said, "I've got yours if you've got mine"
And the worst and best of all we knew
Stayed out to rust in the morning dew

Didn't take long to sing our love
Was a harvest feast, was a hand to glove
When winter came, you couldn't stand to sit
You're just the same, never burnt, but lit
With a world at war and my thoughts on you
I didn't care to fall there wasn't much to do

And the worst and best of all we knew
Stayed out to rust in the morning dew
Churlish May, when the year was fair
Gone full circle when things went square
Ate my meal, an un noble beast
Left me to pay, not a movable feast

Look, I got nothing, don't know where I am
Got a fistful of questions
Not an answer to hand
And the worst and best of all we knew
Stayed out to rust in the morning dew
Morning dew with a blow me down the road
Dead in the wood

Further from you now
Then the roots from the leaves
Drunk on the wood, never seen any trees
My oar's out the water
And the lake that I'm sailing
Is your dear father's daughter and
It's cold and I'm ailing

Are you drowning me slowly? Was
The school meant to teach?
Are you leaving so slowly? Where's
The shore? Where's the beach?
And the worst and best of all we knew
Stayed out to rust in the morning dew
