Fireflies

Lyrics

Invisible, inviting visions linger The swirl of smoke looks like her slender body I see everything in frames now Golden, gilded, rippled edges wave goodnight Light sleeper, what's keeping you from waking? The shallow stare has said it all Cold dark face reminds me of the night we learned to smoke Fireflies at our lips 37 years until I show my face again Steal this moment, make it worth saving Light sleeper, what's keeping you from waking? The shallow stare has said it all Choke down the clouds that cloud your head now It would make my gloomy day Where ever you are, you've stayed far away for too long The clocks are flipping on their backs Don't stay too late, I'll fizzle and fade A statue of stoned beliefs, a monument To monumental dying thoughts Let the currents take us where they will From this hill I can see a world unfold before me I'm brooding on the broken nights I break each sentence like a limb, like a limb This is my exit I storm out stage left It'll feel like I left you So long ago These arms will bleed, I'll be waiting I'll be waiting with wishful elation Light sleeper, you could make my gloomy day Make this moment worth saving
