Firefly
Words Michael Heron
Music Jim Walker
Firefly, it’s hoverin’
just above the water
Ripplin’ off the leaves,
I had to catch my breath
Beauty it may be
In the eye of the beholder
Sacrificin’ nothin’
until there’s nothin’ left
Silence that surrounds me
When I’m underneath the water
Makes me wanna smile
I don’t wanna lose my breath
Chrous
If you’re sleepin’, you’re not thinkin’
If you’re thinkin’, you’re not sleepin’
Another broken day, another broken day
Can’t you stop decision-makin’
Written down on scraps of paper
Constant in this world
Tied up with knots and strings
Lost some words, took my time
Read through every word of life
Put a line to have the chance
Could not wait no longer
Nothin’ I could ask you now
Would make things any better
If I gave you everything
Then nothin’ else would matter
Chorus
Can’t you stop decision-makin’
Written down on scraps of paper
Constant in this world
Tied up with knots and strings
