Lordy May
Boy & Bear Lyrics
Oh my God we are done
So come take my daughter, and come take my son
See we never follow
No we never follow
Whoa, and I’ve been through Your garden
And I’ve been to Your grave
Lordy may
When I come to my end some day
Will I find myself sitting at some golden gate
Yeah, my end some day
I wonder if my heart will be hungry
I wonder when my body does decay
I somehow imagined I’d walk this earth, no, forever
Forever
Whoa, and I’ve been through Your garden
And I’ve been to Your grave
But Lordy may
When I come to my dying day
Would You promise me this, that I’d go in grace
And I’d be happy to just float away, someday

Tim Hart, from another university band Wintersound, joined as a drummer and singer-songwriter. Then they expanded with Jake Tarasenko (ex-Tripartisan Approach) on bass guitar. All four had fronted their own groups and became friends after regularly sharing the stage at gigs.
After winning the 2009 Unearthed competition, they gained a performance spot at the Australasian music festival Homebake. In 2010, Tim's brother Jon Hart joined the band as an official member; contributing vocals, mandolin, banjo and keyboards. They toured Australia opening for Angus and Julia Stone as a three-piece, with Tarasenko and Hart in London playing in Laura Marling's backing band. In May 2010, Boy & Bear released their debut extended play, With Emperor Antarctica.

Hey Texas
Oh my god we are done
So come take my daughter and come take my son
See we never followed
No we never followed
I've been in through your garden
and I've been to your grave
But Lordy May
When I come to my end some day
Will I find myself sitting at some golden gate
Or will it all just float away
My end some day
I wonder if my heart will be hungry
I wonder when my body does decay
I somehow imagined I'd walk this earth
no forever, forever
And I've been in through your garden
And I've been to your grave
Lordy May
When I come to my dying days
Won't you promise me this
That I go in grace
And I'd be happy to just float away
Some day

Hey Texas
Oh my god we are done

Will I find myself sitting at some golden gate
Or will it all just float away
My end some day
I wonder if my heart will be hungry
