Firefly Lyrics

Firefly

Who were you really?

Maddening mystery

Your absence fills the room

The minute our eyes met

you knew you had your audience

Now the curtain falls and it's dark as a tomb

Tough, fearless and girlish and vain

You could drink any man under the table

Not restless, not drawn to it, you were the flame

Could it seem anything other than fatal?

All there, not there, all seeing, all blind

I'm searching the dark or you're burning my eyes

Speaker of truth, shot through with lies

Flickering, flickering firefly

Not one for straight answers

You loved with such candor

Your eyes searched the words for the form

Feeling your meaning

Carving your dreaming

your brush searched the calm for the storm

So hard to leave you there, so hard to go

Panic pinned you to the gurney

You said am I dying now? I said maybe? I don't know

But you have what you need for the journey

Feast and famine, outside of time

I'm sorry I'm mad that you left me behind

I still want to hear what you have on your mind

Flickering, gone dark, firefly
