My love lives at
The end of a rainbow
One day I'm gonna
Fly there on a firefly
High above white angry water
With a love song in my heart
Someday, somehow
I know I'm gonna get there
I've been patient for so long
All my daydreams
Seem so much nearer now
And I beg you hear my song
Firefly
On your glowing wings I'll ride
Till I sit beside
This dream of mine
Firefly, high on a risin' tide
Only wanna touch
The things I've seen
Steppin' lightly from star to star
Cross a wilderness of blue
Wonderin' how much
In love with me you are
'Cause I'm so much in love with you
Firefly, can you take me
I ain't had no lovin' lately
Firefly bring me love
To my new horizon
The one that I've still
Got my eyes on, my my firefly
Firefly, firefly, firefly
In my dreams you come to me
The answer to my prayer
As I begin to feel
You warm my heart
I awake and you're not there
Now and then I see your eye
As the stars begin to shine
No rain to cool my passion
No! Not now!
I went to your bedroom to see you again
to miss you that much after such a long time
I went to the aisle to marry your soul
to miss you that much
missing you broke my life
hoping that you feel the same
missing you broke my life
missing you broke my life
hoping that you feel the same
missing you broke my life
its all over now you've killed me
its all over now you've killed me
its all over now you've killed me
its all over now
fear is compressed in the back of my stomach
the rust in my eyes from my corroded halo
I remember you smile, distorted and pure
to hold you 'till death
missing you broke my life
hoping that you feel the same
missing you broke my life
missing you broke my life
hoping that you feel the same
missing you broke my life
its all over now you've killed me
its all over now you've killed me
its all over now you've killed me
it all over now
missing you broke my life
hoping that you feel the same
missing you broke my life
missing you broke my life
hoping that you feel the same
its all over now you've killed me
its all over now you've killed me
its all over now you've killed me
its all over now
you've killed me (its all over now)
you've killed me (its all over now)
Someone struck a match against the night
All I could see was you and I
I was captivated
A perfect little dream inside my head
And then reality crept in and erased it
For a while I thought that I could hold you
But you were just a temporary high
Firefly you drew me to you
Your beauty shines and
Lights up the sky
And you don’t know it
Do you
I wish I could keep you
Firefly, firefly
Something So beautiful and free
Was As never meant to be
Caged in
I thought I had you in my hand
I tried to catch you
But I can’t chase the wind
And every time I reach out to touch you
I remind myself you were meant to fly
Firefly you drew me to you
Your beauty shines and
Lights up the sky
And you don’t know it
Do you
I wish I could keep you
Firefly, firefly
I’d like to think
I’d be all that you wanted
But not even that is enough
Firefly you drew me to you
Your beauty shines and
Lights up the sky
And you don’t know it
Do you
I wish I could keep you
I wish I could keep you
Firefly
Firefly, Firefly
Shine your light tonight
Assist the Moon and Stars
In helping us
To ease our troubled minds
Firefly, Firefly
Golden night of serenity, yeah
show us the light naturally.
And maybe she wont worry
when there aint nothing I can do.
When sea runs dry
and the stars fall from the sky
She a vulnerable flower
and she believes in me
Even when I had to lie
I shouldn't have lie
To make the world feel alright
Firefly, Firefly
(Spoken)Um,Um,Um, Sometimes I feel
I have the weight of the world
on my shoulders. But knowing the
strength she sees in me
I smile because she believes me.
Firefly, Firefly
Golden night of serenity
show me the light naturally.
And maybe she wont worry
when aint nothing I can do.
When sea runs dry
and the stars fall from the sky
She a vulnerable flower
and she believes in me
Even when I had to lie
I shouldn't have lie
To make the world feel alright
Firefly, Firefly
Ooh,Ooh,Ooh,Ooh,Firefly
You make the world feel alright
I said I'd walk you home after our third round
of pouring whiskey down the barrel of our guts
and I grabbed hold of your hand.
We're up and we're out and we're yelling through the streets
and I'm out of my fucking mind
and I know you're next to me but I must confess what's in my head.
Keep pumping now, legs to beat the ground, and our hearts to beat the band.
The sky's on fire again.
Run down this alleyway.
Lightning bolts again and we become fireflies just flashing at the air.
Rattle garbage cans.
Prepare to be ravaged by our lust burning mad, the fire that we've become.
And I know you're under me but I must confess what's in my head:
To me you are the light from a light bulb that breaks sometimes
and the tender warmth inside is released into my life
and it smothers me in flames that lick and scorch my face.
As the smoke reaches the sky know I'm burning tonight.
Know I'm burning tonight.
Know I'm burning tonight.
Know I'm burning tonight.
You looked like my mother did when she was nineteen
not afraid to die
I started planning our future
but you were just nineteen
still a firefly
You got terrible vision
shoulda seen I was leavin' when I first appeared
But I, I got bit by the front lights
I got caught in the headlights
headed any place but here
Never say you'll never leave
cause you never know till you try
in a jar of fireflys
only last for one night
Hateful and heartbroked feelings come easy as a waitress on a cool summer night
And I wonder if there's any justice
Cause if there's suppossed to be justice something aint right
It's rains roll like gamblers in somo
trying to find justice cause he couldn't love
ah yeah, I, I want to sleep on the train tracks
It's gonna be peaceful
It's gonna get rough
Never say you'll never leave cause you never know till you try
in a jar of fireflys
only last for one night
only last for one night
You look like my mother did when she was nineteen
not afraid to die
for the last time I'm not your mother
hell I was only nineteen
C'mon beautiful we'll go sit on the front lawn
We'll watch the fireflies as the sun goes down
They don't live too long, just a flash and then they're gone
We'll laugh at them and watch the sun go down
You're so pretty baby
You're the prettiest thing I know
You're so pretty baby
Where did you go
Tell my why you don't sleep anymore
Tell me what you sit up all night waiting for
Are you waiting for loneliness to paralyze
Are you waiting for Sister Midnight to unleash the tide
You're so pretty baby
You're the prettiest thing I know
You're so pretty baby
Where did you go
Finish the prayer that started as a kiss
The overwhelming dream of happiness
I'll give you all of my good luck
For the overwhelming dream that's killing us
You're so pretty baby
You're the prettiest thing I know
You're so pretty baby
Where did you go
C'mon we'll go sit on the front lawn
I'll hold you in my arms and we're gone
I call her Firefly
Cause, oh, my
She radiates moonglow
Wants none of that noon glow
She starts to glitter
When the sun goes down
Bout eight p.m., it's mayhem
She switches those brights up
Lights up and gives me a call
Take me to the Fireflies ball
But when I get her there
Set her there
Do I get to pet her there
And grab me some glow
No, she's a gad about, mad about
Luring every lad about
While leaving me moaning low
Oh, Firefly, why can't I
Latch on for you no how
Oh, how I love you but gee
While you set the night on
Firefly, shine a little light on me
But when I get her there
Set her there
Do I get to pet her there
And grab me some glow
No, she's a gad about, mad about
Luring every lad about
While leaving me moaning low
Oh, Firefly, why can't I
Latch on for you no how
Oh, how I love you but gee
While you set the night on
Firefly, shine a little light on
Shine a little light on
Shine a little light on me
She's not like anyone else
You wonder why she captured
You like a firefly
And makes you shine like you never could alone
And tell me
Can you see her shining
Through a crowded room
Where she's the view
And maybe
She'll embrace your innocence maybe
She gets high but hates those cigarettes
She speaks and breaks your intellect
And she's allowed to change her mind
Just you try to stop her yeah
And so it is
The same you've not been since
One hit and you were lit up like a firefly
Be careful what you wish
She tells stories like a painter, yeah
With colorful words that I don't always understand
But it always sounds like somewhere better than here
Yeah, everywhere is better with her
She has a subtle way
Of making you forget your darkness
Behind some clever conversation
I fell in love next to you
Burning fires in this room
It just fits
Light and smooth
Like my feet in my shoes
Little one, lie with me
Sew you heart to my sleeve
We'll stay quiet
Underneath shooting stars
If it helps you sleep
And hold me tight
Don't let me breathe
Feeling like
You won't believe
There's a firefly
Loose tonight
Better catch it
Before it burns this place down
And I lie
If I don't feel so right
But the world looks better
Through your eyes
Teach my skin
Those new tricks
Warm me up
With your lips
Heart to heart
Melt me down
It's too cold
In this town
Close your eyes
Lean on me
Face to mouth
Lips to cheek
Feeling numb
In my feet
You're the one
To help me
Get to sleep
And hold me tight
Don't let me breathe
Feeling like
You won't believe
There's a firefly
Loose tonight
Better catch it
Before it burns this place down
And I lie
If I don't feel so right
But the world looks better
Through your eyes
It's only been
One night of love
And maybe
That is not enough
Hold me tight
Don't let me breathe
Feeling like
You won't believe
It's only been
One night of love
And maybe
That's not enough
Hold me tight
Don't let me breathe
Feeling like
You won't believe
There's a firefly loose tonight
Better catch it
Before it burns this place down
And I lie
If I don't feel so right
But the world looks better
Throw the towel in
Write the poison letter
Burn the place down
Let's make it better
Pour the fuel in
Make the carpet wetter
Burning paper-bin
Let's make it better
Tiny thumb-wheel
Slide across the metal
Little yellow box
Let's make it better
And if the wind blows
Then it's gone forever
Little firefly
I think we made it better
I think we made it better
Little firefly
My memory will not fail me now
My memory will not fail me
My memory will not fail me now
My memory will not fail me
Ooh, firefly in the night sky
Only lights on the rise
And I need you so firefly
One satellite with a lazy eye
Caught me by surprise
With an ache in my belly
And a taste in my mouth for fire
My memory will not fail me now
My memory will not fail me
My memory will not fail me now
Ooh, firefly in the night sky
Only lights on the rise
After the killing frost
Where do you go, firefly
My memory will not fail me now
My memory will not fail me
My memory will not fail me now
And the rest is history
You my friend
You're a lot like them
But I cut your line
And you know I did
Now I'm lost in you
Like I always do
And I die to win
'Cause I'm born to lose
Firefly
Could you shine your light?
Now I know your ways
'Cause they're just like mine
Now I'm justified
As I fall in line
An' it's hard to try
When you're open wide
Take my hand
We'll be off and then
We'll come back again
To a different land
Now I like this way
You can go away
If you guess the name
You cannot replace
Firefly
Could you shine your light?
Now I know your ways
'Cause they're just like mine
Now I'm justified
As I fall in line
And it's hard to try
When you're open wide
Bring me your enemies
Lay them before me
And walk away
Walk away
Walk away
Firefly
Could you shine your light?
Now I know your ways
'Cause they're just like mine
Now I'm justified
As I fall in line
And it's hard to try
When you're open wide
Fuck you firefly
Have you lost your light?
Now I hate your ways
'Cause they're just like mine
So you've lost my friend
Such a sorry end
And now I don't know why?
So I choke and smile
In the darkest corner of my heart
Is a tiny firefly
Across the years, across the yard
Struggling, he's still alive
Long lost sisters, take me back.
We'll catch all the fireflies
Drop your needle, drop your book
We'll run like banshees through the night
With light comes heat
Into your heart I creak
Into your heart
My love is all around you
A single perfect dew drop forms
The first pearl of the morning
And as the air surrounding warms
And darkness ebbs away
Another fragile day
She's there observing silently
A witness to creation
She understands the irony
This is her final scene
A picture in a dream
The way it's always been
But it comes as a cost
With this sense that something permanent is lost
That a line has been crossed
An argument to which there's no riposte
That's a singularity
It's your own mortality
It's the punishment and prize
It's the lights before your eyes
Come alive, oh firefly of mine
Tomorrow is un-reachable
Tomorrow is invention
Tomorrow is un-teachable
It's where the answers hide
It's where we don't arrive
How precious is the time we've left
How priceless every moment
We must abandon hopeless quests
This business of forgiveness
This notion of atonement
But it comes as a cost
With this sense that something permanent is lost
That a line has been crossed
An argument to which there's no riposte
That's a singularity
It's your own mortality
It's the punishment and prize
It's the lights before your eyes
Come alive, oh firefly of mine
But it comes as a cost
With this sense that something permanent is lost
That a line has been crossed
An argument to which there's no riposte
That's a singularity
It's your own mortality
It's the punishment and prize
When I said go I never meant away
You ought to know the freaky games we play
could you forgive and learn how to forget
hear me as I'm calling out your name
Firefly come back to me
make the night as bright as day
I'll be looking out for you
tell me that your lonely too
firefly come lead me on
follow you into the sun
that's the way it ought to be
firefly come back to me
You and me
we shared a mistery
we were so close
like honey to the bee
And if you tell me how to make you understand
I'm minor in a major kinda way
Firefly come back to me
make the night as bright as day
I'll be looking out for you
tell me that your lonely too
firefly come lead me on
follow you into the sun
that's the way it ought to be
firefly come back to me
Fly firefly through the sky
come and play with my desire
don't be long don't ask why
I can't wait another night
Always more than I can catch inside this jar
Lighting up the night sky
Flicker in your eye
Ladybugs crawl across your hand
In plain sight, broad daylight
I don't mind
But in the dark
Invisible and beautiful
Then gone again
When you've forgotten them
They're back again
On and off
On and off
On and off
Who became the star,
Who won't fall,
Took the way I know,
Move along now,
So sad I lost my memory,
The shape of things to come,
Suckers are (??!!) stopped inside me,
There's just no time.
Halcyon days,
Pine the roadways,
Got to let you know,
And I walk the way the wind blow,
Softly in clouds of envy,
I've seen these eyes,
Fireflies in time.
Don't ask for anything more,
There seem no room in my life,
Don't ask for anything more,
Don't know why.
Talk to me,
Drag my memory,
Across the seashore of sand,
Yes I care,
I'm trying to see you,
I'm getting tired, so late,
I'll never,
I'll never,
We'll never.
Hold your hand, hold the lie,
And enter another butterfly,
Anything cloud no dirt (?),
Funny bird,
Burning word,
Travelling, dreams for me in time.
Head's down,
Words from an ending,
Words to the end tone,
Peace signs each in a right way,
Destiny untold.
Anything cloud no dirt (?),
Funny bird,
Burning word,
Travelling, dreams for me in time.
And head's down,
Words from an ending,
Words to the end tone (?),
Peace signs each in a right way,
As we live our lives like... a flicker of star light
On these battle fields... the smell of death is real
In fear of attack in a night cold and black
Show me where I can run...
Where no one carries a gun
The enemy lines I'm now caught behind
Favor neither a side...
Show me a place I can hide... This firefly
Try to understand this war
Wasn't in my plans... no
The fight for freedom and liberty
Will go on indefinitely... I know
My Life, my home is where I belong
Tell me why must this be
An unsolved mystery
Lives have been lost, who's adding the cost
Broken families, left only with memories of fireflies
Now we're facing annihilation, the end to all we know
Devastation soon replacing the end to all we grow
Can't you see the power and greed
That's sure to doom us all
They won't rest, now all that's left
Is for the world to fall
Now I can see my opponents as scared as me
I know he feels inside all those things we try to hide
The fighting must cease for the world to have peace
Live and let live I believe
See what it's like to be free
You may just find that somewhere in time
Together we all will be
I went to your bedroom to see you again,
To miss you that much and it's such a long time,
I went to the aisle to marry to your soul,
To miss you that much
Missing you broke my life,
Hoping that you feel the same.
Missing you broke my life.
Missing you broke my life,
Hoping that you feel the same.
Missing you broke my life.
It's all over now, you've killed me,
It's all over now, you've killed me,
It's all over now, you've killed me,
It's all over now.
Fear is compressed in the back of my stomach,
The rust in my eyes from my corrode halo,
I remember your smile, distorted and pure,
To hold you 'til death.
Missing you broke my life,
Hoping that you feel the same.
Missing you broke my life.
Missing you broke my life,
Hoping that you feel the same.
Missing you broke my life.
It's all over now, you've killed me,
It's all over now, you've killed me,
It's all over now, you've killed me,
It's all over now.
Missing you broke my life,
Hoping that you feel the same.
Missing you broke my life.
Missing you broke my life,
Hoping that you feel the same.
Missing you broke my life.
It's all over now, you've killed me,
It's all over now, you've killed me,
It's all over now, you've killed me,
It's all over now
You've killed me (It's all over now),
You've killed me (It's all over now),
Oh, oh
Firefly, firefly
Shine your light tonight
Assist the moon and stars
In helping us
To ease our troubled minds
Firefly, firefly
Golden light of serenity, yeah
Show us the night naturally
And maybe she won't worry
When there ain't nothing I can do
When sea runs dry
And the stars fall from the sky
She's a vulnerable flower
And she believes in me
Even when I have to lie
I shouldn't have to lie
To make the world seem alright
Firefly, firefly
I come home with the weight
Of the world on my shoulders
But knowing the strength she sees in me
I smile because she believes in me
Firefly, firefly
Golden light of serenity, yeah
Show me the night naturally
And maybe she won't worry
When there ain't nothing I can do
When the sea runs dry
And the stars fall from the sky
She's a vulnerable flower
And she believes in me
Even when I have to lie
I shouldn't have to lie
To make the world seem alright
She's a vulnerable flower
And she believes in me
Even when I have to lie
I shouldn't have to lie
To make the world seem alright
You're like a firefly, trying hard to give a sign
And when it's getting there, you shine a light
Everybody always worked hard and we were pleased with ourselves
And someone took away our hungry hearts
I can never do it to you do to you
Seems so easy just to make it right make it right
I think it's time for something new now something new
So I keep looking for a firefly
Just to make it right, just to make it right
Just to make it right, just to make it
Two sides to what I see, can't stick to this belief
I'm in the middle of conspiracies
One tells me he can be tied to what I feel is right
The other turns his face away from me
I can never do it to you do it to you
It seems so easy just to make it right make it right
I think it's time for something new now something new
So I keep looking for my firefly
Just to make it right, just to make it right
Just to make it right, just to make it
Tripped on a wire
Ask me, tell me how I'm feeling
Stranded by the light of the evening
Watching the flies
Surrounded by fire inside this season
Blinded by the light of the evening
Catch the clock and cut the hands of time
(Welcome to my life)
Seek the space to stop and soothe my troubled mind
(Fireflies float into my skies)
Uninspired and feeling life is leaving too soon
Under the light of the moon
Under the lights of June
Hung on a wire
Save me, show me all I'm thinking
Strangled by the logic of treason
I don't mind
Lying in this field without a reason
I'm still blinded by the light of the evening
Catch the clock and cut the hands of time
(Welcome to my world)
Seek the space to stop and soothe my troubled mind
(Fireflies float into my soul)
Uninspired and feeling life is leaving too soon
Under the light of the moon
Under the lights of June
I climb to the top of my soul again
I look at the world and it's new again
Is this all a dream I'm living in
Under the lights of June
Catch the clock and cut the hands of time
(Welcome to my life)
Seek the space to stop and soothe my troubled mind
(Fireflies float into my skies)
Uninspired and feeling life is leaving too soon
(Fireflies float into my soul)
So feel the shock - set free the hands of time
Under the light of the moon
Under the lights of June
Under the light of the moon
Under the light of the moon
sparks flying through the room
my head's on fire
and there is nothing i can do
i'm in the whirlwind
far beyond reach
i wish that you would be here too
fading fire
the wakened eye
soon turning blue again
for all gone before
all left undone
put down your walking-stick and run
i'm on a blind-ride
all screens are blank
looking forward running back
and all is one
to each his own
all is one
but i am alone
as i run
Glowing eyes that ask if I would risk it all
Fight the crowding dark away
I can't help but feel that You are searching me
At the dusk of summer's first day
Fragile wings bring little messages of light
Firefly burning inside, I'll fly
With the light inside of me
Circling free from a gently opened jar
With a halo You show me
A symbol of the fact that I am carrying
The image of Your glory
Fragile wings bring little messages of light
Firefly burning inside, I'll fly
With the light inside of me
Firefly burning inside, I'll fly
With the light inside of me
I burn to know Your will, Your ways
Your heart and mind and learn to love the way You love
A luminescent speck shining at the perfect time
Tests the temporary night and signals other tiny fires
Time to light up and fly, light up, light up and fly
Firefly burning inside, I'll fly
I’m burning just the same
Yeah just the same as you
Look into the flame
To find that I’m burning too
The story unfolds without any words
Your burning over fading under
Where you’re going I don’t know
Burn like a firefly
Fading into the night
Burn like a firefly
Something that’s in my eyes
Burn like a firefly
Fading into the night
Burn like a firefly
Dying to save your life
I’m fading just the same
Yeah just the same as you
Washing you away with words that you say
Your burning over fading under
Where you’re going I don’t know
Burn like a firefly
Fading into the night
Burn like a firefly
Something that’s in my eyes
Burn like a firefly
Fading into the night
Burn like a firefly
Dying to save your life
Burn like a firefly
Fading into the night
Burn like a firefly
Something that’s in my eyes
Burn like a firefly
Burn like a firefly
Burn like a firefly
i'm on fire for you otnight
and everything is sweet and right
you know just what you have to do
and make it plain with every move
you'll never find a better friend
and you know you've got to choose
there's no need to be confused
my heart's on fire for you tonight
and it swallows all the light
and you're the one who always knew
so now i wear you like a bruise
you're not supposed to get upset
and i could feel it when we met
you're not supposed to be afraid
and there's nothing to regret
and i can be your firefly
because you've made to satisfy
and you won't ever have to lie
and i can be your firefly
you're not supposed to feel ashamed
and there's nothing left to hide
you're not supposed to be afraid
It’s tulips and it’s daisies
Your favorite flowers lately
You think that I ain’t listening, but you know I do
With your two lips on me baby
My head starts getting dazey
Don’t give me a flower
What I want is you
CHORUS
It happened on the day you put your hand in mine
You went up to my head just like a glass of wine
Girl, you spark my attention like a firefly
You make me happy to be alive
You move into a room like
Summer breeze at noon time
Baby, out of nine, I’d give you ten
Your love is like an ocean
Surf and spray in motion
Baby, I’m a diver and I love to swim
CHORUS
It happened on the day you put your hand in mine
You went up to my head just like a glass of wine
Girl, you spark my attention like a firefly
You make me happy to be alive
(Chorus)
These are just simple words of mine
And though most of what I feel is hard to rhyme
Ain’t it good to know your boy gave it a try?
Oh a try
Yeah! Yeah!
It’d take a thousand colors just to paint your eyes
Like saving grace, they raise me up to paradise
This ain’t opinion, it’s consensus from my heart and mind
You make me happy to be alive
Written by Tommy Shaw, Jack Blades, Ted Nugent
Haven't I seen your face before
You greased the handles on my door
Took me for a ride
Down lover's highway
Uh huh, oh yeah
Let's shake it up
Next time you're going my way
I don't want you comin' down
Spread your lightning all around
Yeah that's right baby
Let your firefly
Let your firefly
Well pretty faces turn to stone
Pack their bags and head for home
When I dress you in that little next to nothing
Uh huh
I don't think I need you now
Or what
You got to let me know
How far you want to go
Is it yes or no
Unless unless you let me know we never ever ever
Ever gonna get started
Some people never learn
That you just might get burned
Now you just say the word
Come on say it say it to me to me come on
Now say it to me
Once you get started it's hard to get off the road that you're on
Let your firefly
Let your firefly
Let your firefly
Let your firefly
Let your firefly
Let your firefly
Let your firefly
Let your firefly
C'mon beautiful we'll go sit on the front lawn We'll watch the fireflies as the sun goes down They don't live too long just a flash and then they're gone We'll laugh at them and watch the sun go down
You're so pretty baby
You're the prettiest thing i know
You're so pretty baby
Where did you go
Tell my why you don't sleep anymore
Tell me what you sit up all night waiting for
Are you waiting for loneliness to paralyze
Are you waiting for sister midnight to unleash the tide
You're so pretty baby
You're the prettiest thing i know
You're so pretty baby
Where did you go
Finish the prayer that started as a kiss
The overwhelming dream of happiness
I'll give you all of my good luck
For the overwhelming dream that's killing us
You're so pretty baby
You're the prettiest thing i know
You're so pretty baby
Where did you go
C'mon we'll go sit on the front lawn
I'll hold you in my arms and you're gone
I've been living on borrowed money
because it seems I've failed, honey,
at taking care of my business
Lord knows, you've born witness
to my pitfalls
We've gambled, won, and lost some
The chances missed
How they've come and gone
We'll get by
I promise, firefly
I walk a road paved in debt
that I can't get in front of
M., forgive me what I'm lacking;
a balance that's subtracting again
Fist over fist,
work up the bat
We'll find a way to fill the sack,
and we'll get by
I promise, firefly
"I tried so hard
A push you can't contest
I know I gave my best
And I'll never understand
how you turned and bit the hand
that gave with love upon demand
I got you by,
through all the lean times
the stop signs
the stress lines
the thin dime
Little child, did you throw the dice again?
Black and blue paint on your wall
Hey, didn't mama tell you that she loves you so?
Even if her bones are dry to hear you sing and cry.
Attempting to please the world at the age of 17
You kill your babies and call it "offering"
The stench of truth: the life for a life to be kind as to be unkind
Refrain:
It took six sweet years of your life
You walked alone along with your tea cold colored mind
Subtly you pay the curse upon you
But the promise of a man seeps through earth and grave and stone
Chorus:
You will seek him with all your heart and soul and strength
You count all the cost as you walk out the door
Without a warning
You set the world on fire!
You're never appearing not to
Emerging through unscathed
Your little god you're cauterized by sin
Comfortable and seem to gain a place of fatherless
Refrain
VERSE 1
Before the morning let us bathe upon the yellow.
I love to sleep with the ringing of the cello,
In my ears, nothing but your warm breath,
I always sleep on the left.
CHORUS
(And) I still get a chill
Still get a spill
Filling up my belly when I think of you.
(You see) I still get a river
Still get a quiver
And it burns down my spine
When I think that you're mine.
(Oh, yes you are!)
VERSE 2
And always hunting for the light,
Well. it's a firefly.
Don't you see that it's you aglow?
In the morning when work is in the air,
I love to play with your hair.
(CHORUS)
(VERSE 1)
(CHORUS)
CODA
I still get a chill
Still get a spill
Filling up my belly when I think of you.
So the river calls to deliver
And it burns down my spine
(Oh) ... you're mine
Oh, you're mine
Oh, you're mine
Firefly
APRIL RAPIER, BOB OLDREIVE & JOE LINDLEY
Firefly in a cobalt sky
All the warmth Ill have tonight
Behind the ridge a half moon hides
Distant as my lovers eyes
The river fog is spreading and Ive lost my way
The trail is twisting through the vines
At the waters edge tonight
You never know what you might find
If I could climb upon that ridge
Im sure Id find Heavens bridge
But I wont cross and break these ties
Im still chasing fireflies
I cant find the west wind to blow this fog away
Or carry my lovers voice to me
All at once a whisper tells me where I need to be
Firefly in a cobalt sky
All the warmth Ill have tonight
Behind the ridge a half moon hides
Did you see the moon tonight? Did you know it's made of
dust?
Did you hear they found another way to ruin your day?
Did you see the stars tonight? Did you know they're
made of tears?
Did you hear they found a perfect way to take away your
everything?
You could phone in sick and sneak in to a movie with me
We'll share some tears and a flask full of wine
Later we can cruise the scene like skaters on
longboards and then
Head to the creek and catch a jar of fireflies
Did you lose another fight? Did you try to walk away?
Did they try to tell you what to think and what to feel
and what to say?
Did you walk alone tonight? Did you get lost along the
way?
Did you cry yourself to sleep, did you wish you could
just fade away?
You should phone in sick and sneak in to a movie with
We'll share some laughs and a flask full of wine
Later we can cruise the scene like hipsters on scooters
and then
Head to the lake and catch a jar of fireflies
Did you catch my drift tonight? Did you see it in your
dreams?
Peace in the blink of an eye and true love in a memory
The trees are whizzing by, a warm breeze on my feet
With the crickets' lullaby it was the last time I felt
It's the eye of the tiger avenging
Could tell if I shouldn't or if I ought to
Bury the bones a thousand times
All of my senses in the fight
Are flying like fireflies
So I lock the very part of me
So no one else but him could creep in
Maybe you tried to change my mind
But you don't know how I feel inside
My dry eyes
So I lie
No one would know
How I run away
No one would know
How I leave me up
No one would know
If I disappear
Running on empty
Holding me up when I'm down
when I'm down
So I lock the very part of me
So no one else but him could creep in
Maybe you tried to change my mind
But you don't know how I feel inside
My dry eyes
So I lie
No one would know
How I run away
No one would know
How I leave me out
No one would know
If I disappear
Running on empty
Holding me up when I'm-
No one would know
If I lied to me
No one would know
If I keep it all in
No one would know
If I disappear
Running on empty
Holding me up when I'm down
No one would know
If I long to be
No one would know
How I keep it all in
No one would know
If I disappear
Running on empty
im sorry that i find your bickering so funny
but tell me just what you've accomplished
i dont think you understand how happy i am
i have done what ive always wanted
what ive always wanted
you see
you cant take that away from me
this complacency is so sweet
im gliding throught the motions of kissing your feet
im fine all by myself
so take your stance
if i reclined into anything right now
id melt
just close my eyes and slip away
you see
because you have no hold on me
so im sorry that i walk away and laugh
but im so proud that i wont let you make me feel daft
do you hear the symphony in me
its telling you that right now im free
you can crash through my room
but i wont be able to hear you
you can scream all you want
but your stress is staying inside you
next thing you know, i'll be in the forest
when its black at night
so warm inside, i'll be a firefly
you would say "I don't care about the world
our lifes an adventure
we'll fight it together
whatever happened
it wouldnt matter
It's a question that drives us
To where we must go It's
the unknown that drives from us
What we want most
But the firefly sits in the corner and rest
And it won't care if you stare
But believe me, it's best to let go
Don't just, go with the flow
And the firefly comes to you
sits on your finger
it shatters and shakes but
she wants you to go with her now
follow her-out there
Firefly's spreading her wings open wide, thinks
the sky will come crashing down, fall to her side she's
afraid
But her fear's only faith
So fly with the firefly
Fly side by side
Escaping the chains that held you from life
Don't look down,
You're over the edge
Jump, take a leap of faith
Jump, take a leap of faith
It's a question that drives us
To where we must go, It's
the unkown that drives from us
what we want most but
the firefly sits in the corner and rest
It's a question that drives us
Where we must go, It's
the unkown that drives from us
what we want most but,
the firefly sits in the corner and rest
It's a question that drives us
Where we must go, It's
the unkown that drives from us
what we want most but,
the firefly sits in the corner and rest
It's a question that drives us
Where we must go, It's
the unkown that drives from us
what we want most but,
the firefly sits in the corner and rest
The rockets red glare
As I burst into air
The sky around was dead and so down
Until I caught your stare
Lifting up
I will never touch the ground
Selfishly I brighten the sky
I will color
I will fly
Like a comet shot through the night
I will conquer with neon dye
When I let my fire fly
Somewhere out there
Atmosphere so bare
Give me a mortar
And give me powder
Give me a fuse to share
Lifting up
I will never touch the ground
Selfishly I brighten the sky
I will color
I will fly
Like a comet shot through the night
I will conquer with neon dye
When I let my fire fly
So crazy
Exploding daily
Like the sun rises we will go
Turning faces
Inspiring places
Firefly, first star I see tonight, light the way
Through cursed grays and wicked days
Heavier, the iron bell sounds loud and clear,
Oh and swingin’ wide the church doors welcome his messengers here
Good Reverend Phelps dancin’ in his bible belt
Oh how he shines
He lights the way
Teaches love through hate
And war from faith
And his children sing
His hypocrisy while he slams his gavel down
Oh protest parade
Smugly smiling at their world gone wrong
You firefly
Fuming rebel brigade
Sad procession feeds out into the street
Silent hero’s laid their lives down for what they believed
Only to be ambushed there by those they sacrificed for
Homemade christianity painted on picket signs they wield like swords
Tell me Mr Phelps, yeah, does your God look like you?
Does He condemn our differences they way you do?
And will He call for you when you lay your head down to sleep?
Don’t you know forgiveness is, loving your enemy?
You firefly
Oh can you tell me why
You firefly
You firefly
Can you tell me why
I'm a dreamer
I long for holy lands
Wings of dragons
And unicorns that guide my way
I've always believed that magic lies within our minds
(Fairies whisper in the trees, waiting for the night!)
I just close my eyes
Embracing the power of life
(My soul dances with the swarm of the fireflies)
I'm alive, breathe in the light
(The fire flies!)
Let life's lightning hit my sleep
(The fire flies!)
Gimme hope, gimme dreams
Tears, love and fears
All my life I longed to see the fireflies
I've always believed that what we are
Is more than we can see
(Unseen bounds are weaved between all the living wights!)
The mystery worlds surround us
There's so much more to be
(My soul dances with the swarm of the fireflies!)
I'm alive, breathe in the light
(The fire flies!)
Let life's lightning hit my sleep
(The fire flies!)
Gimme hope, gimme dreams
Tears, love and fears
All my life I longed to see the fireflies
I'm alive, breathe in the light
(The fire flies!)
Let life's lightning hit my sleep
(The fire flies!)
Gimme hope, gimme dreams
Tears, love and fears
My love lives at
The end of a rainbow
One day I'm gonna
Fly there on a firefly
High above white angry water
With a love song in my heart
Someday, somehow
I know I'm gonna get there
I've been patient for so long
All my daydreams
Seem so much nearer now
And I beg you hear my song
Firefly
On your glowing wings I'll ride
Till I sit beside
This dream of mine
Firefly, high on a risin' tide
Only wanna touch
The things I've seen
Steppin' lightly from star to star
Cross a wilderness of blue
Wonderin' how much
In love with me you are
'Cause I'm so much in love with you
Firefly, can you take me
I ain't had no lovin' lately
Firefly bring me love
To my new horizon
The one that I've still
Got my eyes on, my my firefly
Firefly, firefly, firefly
In my dreams you come to me
The answer to my prayer
As I begin to feel
You warm my heart
I awake and you're not there
Now and then I see your eye
As the stars begin to shine
No rain to cool my passion
No! Not now!
Youll only see her once a year
Because her schedule is tight
Its only when the summertime draws near
Shell shed her beauty on the night
The noise she makes you will not hear
But with her phosphorescent light
Shell try to help your vision to be clear
And keep your spirits very bright
Oh firefly, when you spread your wings
You make little rings
That light up the evening sky
Oh firefly, when you spread your wings
You make nighttime sing
When you start to fly, youre never shy
I wish youd never die
When autumn cuts in like a knife
Her wings will slowly start to fray
And then the earth will take her as its wife
Into the ground shell melt away
But the glowing, vibrant life you saw
That kept her busy yesterday
Is only resting till the ice will thaw
Then shell be back again to play
Oh firefly, when you spread your wings
You make little rings
That light up the evening sky
Oh firefly, when you spread your wings
You make nighttime sing
When you start to fly, youre never shy
Fallin' down,
I'm tasting all I ever had,
Just to lose,
Tremblin' stars,
They shine and sway, every way
It's always true.
Fireflies are dancing on the ceilin',
Silver threads are woven through your hair.
Bathed in the light,
Gets me back just in time,
Nothing to lose,
But the truth we can find,
Spinning around,
Gets me high,
Gets me high.
Holding on,
I'm losing all I ever had,
Burning sky,
Take me down,
I'm waiting on another life,
Back to you.
Fireflies are dancing on the ceiling,
Silver threads are woven through your hair,
Everything you do,
Sends me reeling,
Always moving through you everywhere.
Bathed in the light,
Gets me back just in time,
Warmed by the breath of the breeze in our minds,
Nothing to lose,
But the truth we can find,
Spinning around,
Gets me high,
Gets me high.
Bathed in the light,
Gets me back just in time,
Warmed by the breath of the breeze in our minds,
Nothing to lose,
But the truth we can find,
Spinning around,
Gets me high,
Gets me high,
Gets me high,
When I said go I never meant away
You ought to know the freaky game we play
Could you forgive and learn how to forget
Here is that I m calling out your name
Firefly come back to me
Make the night as bright as day
I ll be looking out for you
Tell me that you re lonely too
Firefly come lead me on
Follow you into the sun
That s the way it ought to be
Firefly come back to me
In the door way I could see there you re stay
In the darkest day you take the night away
And hold my dream would never fade away
You ll never understand how much it worth for me
You hold me up and you carry up the wound
You play on the ground like we never go down
And never give up our love it was strong
Firefly (remix) lyrics on
To all the wrong zone that our love will never gone
Firefly come back to me
Make the night as bright as day
I ll be looking out for you
Tell me that you re lonely too
Firefly come lead me on
Follow you into the sun
That s the way it ought to be
Firefly come back to me
Firefly through the sky
Come and play with my desire
Don t be long don t ask why
I can t wait another night
Firefly through the sky
Wait another night
Firefly
Firefly come back to me
Make the night as bright as day
I ll be looking out for you
Tell me that you re lonely too
Firefly come lead me on
Follow you into the sun
That s the way it ought to be
I saw you by the old streetlight with an overcoat
on.Searching for a firefly
And now you're gone
You wanted me to know what it's wings look like
When they began to ignite.
And when we said goodbye
I didn't know if that would be the last time
I said goodnight tonight
I'm learning it's all right to say goodbye.
It's underneath a starry sky where the river bends
It's in the middle of July where the road just ends
When silence kills the sound, late at night
You're in my line of sight.
And when we said goodbye
I didn't know if that would be the last time
I said goodnight tonight
I'm learning it's all right to say goodbye.
I walked on water
In the northern lights
Knowing I did not belong there
But afraid to fly
And I see the colors
Of an endless night
And it is meaningless without you
By my side
Firefly, bring me home to you
In your eyes I am healed
I've been such times of darkness
And my heart is gray
Spending weeks upon an ocean
Treading mercury
And in my time of sadness
You light my way
Through the forest of lies
to a brighter day
Firefly, bring me home to you
In your eyes I am healed
Firefly, your wings protect me
And I know I am human again
Oh, when you open the door (Deep in my mind)
When you open your arms (Deep in my mind)
The embrace I long for
Could I hold you close tonight
And be warm and safe
In this world of desperation
You restore my faith
Firefly, bring me home to you
In your eyes I am healed
Firefly, your wings protect me
And I know I am human again.
Oh when you open the door (Deep in the night)
When you open your arms (Deep in the night)
When you fall to the floor (Deep in the night)
I will save you from harm (Deep in the night)
(Deep in the night)
