Lyrics Bishop Allen

Bishop Allen

Fireflies

Your shine how it makes me shiver

The line you trace

It says you can still forgive her

And she will forgive you back

Oh, hey, firefly

Oh, why, firefly

And I'd given up already

And I'd let my eyes adjust

When blinking and unsteady

You say come in

Oh, why, firefly

Oh, why, firefly

So I will take

This new shape

But tell me, darlin'

What difference will it make?

And, oh, how it drifts through evening

And into the darkening night

And when I shine, she sees me

Oh, so brief and bright

Brief and bright, firefly

Oh, why, firefly

So I will take to this new shape

And will she know

Will I show how I can glow?

Oh, why, firefly

Brief and bright, firefly

Oh, so brief and bright

Oh, so brief and bright

Oh, so brief and bright

Oh, so brief and bright

Oh, so brief and bright

Oh, so brief and bright

Oh, so brief and bright

Oh, so brief and bright

Oh, so brief and bright
