Lyrics
Fireflies
Verse 1:
Summer night’s alive, fireflies fly high,
on their way to the moon
She tries not to cry, tears are in her eyes
hoping he’s coming back soon
He said he’d be coming back soon
Yes, he said he’d be coming back soon
Verse 2:
With every dancing child, with every love grown wild
With every awakening sky
There comes the knowing that something is growing,
And with it that something could die
Life’s fire burns uncontained
Life’s fire burns uncontained
Love is the flame, love is to blame
Chorus:
Not so long ago, crimson gave way to snow,
Love and life were found, breath and touch and sound
Building a future of dreams
They were building a future of dreams
Verse 3:
He said he’d wait for her, there are thing he must see
Life is for wonder and change
His love goes with her into a wild sea
Scaling a bright mountain range
In his dreams he flies to the moon
But he promised that I’ll be return soon
He’d be back soon, he’s coming back soon
Chorus:
Verse 4:
Summer night’s alive, fireflies fly high,
on their way to the moon
She tries not to cry, tears are in her eyes
hoping he’s coming back soon
He said he’d be coming back soon
Yes, he said he’d be coming back soon
From the moon, from the moon
From the moon, from the moon
