Firefly Lyrics

It flickered and disappeared

But borrowed me

From what I could call myself

Circling

Was it a shooting star

Or a firefly?

I'll never know.

It's unlikely we ever meet

Or cross a path

But a moment we shared a spot

Along the map

I never did catch her name

From all the laughter

And I'll never know

Without a bend on

An ear or the spine

The answers sit in

Books I'll never read

But whisper from the shelves and say

"We've got a secret for you"

We rented a room with a roof

Made of tin

We only lasted through June

Before the drought did end

I wanted to hear the sound

Of a lazy rain

But I'll never know and it's alright

Without a bend on

An ear or the spine

The answers in

The sky I'll never reach

But whisper from the stars and say "We've got"
