Firefly

歌詞

A single perfect dew drop forms The first pearl of the morning And as the air surrounding warms And darkness ebbs away Another fragile day She's there observing silently A witness to creation She understands the irony This is her final scene A picture in a dream The way it's always been But it comes as a cost With this sense that something permanent is lost That a line has been crossed An argument to which there's no riposte That's a singularity It's your own mortality It's the punishment and prize It's the lights before your eyes Come alive, oh firefly of mine Tomorrow is un-reachable Tomorrow is invention Tomorrow is un-teachable It's where the answers hide It's where we don't arrive How precious is the time we've left How priceless every moment We must abandon hopeless quests This business of forgiveness This notion of atonement But it comes as a cost With this sense that something permanent is lost That a line has been crossed An argument to which there's no riposte That's a singularity It's your own mortality It's the punishment and prize It's the lights before your eyes Come alive, oh firefly of mine But it comes as a cost With this sense that something permanent is lost That a line has been crossed An argument to which there's no riposte That's a singularity It's your own mortality It's the punishment and prize It's the lights before your eyes Come alive, oh firefly of mine
