Jason Webley - Firefly lyrics

rate me

Margaret had a garden full of fireflies

She herded them at dusk & dawn

before the sun or moon rise

They danced with her like children dance

Like drunken angels flicking lanterns at the sky

'til one day a hard wind drove through

& winter stayed, yes, winter stayed

The fireflies, they looked askance

They asked of her, they asked of her

What had gone askew with the man who always

always hid from view

She sighed to them a well-worn sigh

& they limned her with light

The thing, she said, about the man who strays from sight

Well I luv him so & he luvs me, but his soul’s

grown tangled & far from free

His mind’s been poisoned by man’s war

He forgot what his body’s for

The fireflies swarmed among themselves

& made a terrifying swell

They said to Margaret, they might could help

To dull the pain, the pain to quell

Cuz we know of another world

Where your luv could wait

Painless & timeless for thee

Margaret sighed her well worn sigh

Said that could be best

She walked upstairs with a comet tail of fireflies

Into the room where Justus lies

She made the coffee, took his hand

Said I’ll see soon in other lands

For you needn’t luv this world so full of pain

If but for a while you pretend you do

The flicking lights, they came as one

& covered him in their soft glow & hum

They pulled the light right out of him & raised it to the sky

He looked down upon, where Margaret alone lie

He said I spent my last breath in the light in the light of your eyes

& I needn’t luv this world so full of pain

For such a long while, I pretended to
