Firefly

April RAPIER, BOB OLDREIVE & JOE LINDLEY


Firefly in a cobalt sky

All the warmth I?ll have tonight

Behind the ridge a half moon hides

Distant as my lover?s eyes


The river fog is spreading and I?ve lost my way

The trail is twisting through the vines

At the water?s edge tonight

You never know what you might find


If I could climb upon that ridge

I?m sure I?d find Heaven?s bridge

But I won?t cross and break these ties

I?m still chasing fireflies


I can?t find the west wind to blow this fog away

Or carry my lover?s voice to me

All at once a whisper tells me where I need to be


Firefly in a cobalt sky

All the warmth I?ll have tonight

Behind the ridge a half moon hides

To try and capture fireflies
