Song For The Fireflies
作词:Josh Ritter
After all the lights had died Out behind the Palasades Park Fireflies remembered to do Exactly what they were supposed to
And memories were like coins That tumbled somersaulting through the deep Down every well we threw them in Until they came to the top again
And out like the sun In your hair, in your hair
Every month that ends its spin Is picked up by the moon for keeping Clean and safe from accidents Sheltered from the elements
But June is like an echo Of the sounds we never made I swear they find me in my waking hours Thirty days like poison flowers
The wind in your hair Like a sigh, like a sigh
With intermittent rain and shine The sky restarted six or seven times It's blue because it sees all our infidelities
We both know that it's been so long I'm not sure what to say, so I hope Fireflies remember to do exactly What it was they used to
---------------------------------------------------
You would not believe your eyes If ten million fireflies Lit up the world as I fell asleep 'Cause they'd fill the open air
And leave tear drops everywhere You'd think me rude But I would just stand and stare
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly 更多更详尽歌词 在 ※ Mojim.com 魔镜歌词网 It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm
asleep 'Cause everything is never as it seems 'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs From ten thousand lightning bugs As they tried to teach me how to dance
A foxtrot above my head A sock hop beneath my bed
The disco ball is just hanging by a thread
(Thread, thread...) I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep 'Cause everything is never as it seems (When I fall asleep) Leave my door open just a crack (Please take me away from here) 'Cause I feel like such an insomniac (Please take me away from here) Why do I tire of counting sheep? (Please take me away from here) When I'm far too tired to fall asleep (Ha-ha) To ten million fireflies I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes I got misty eyes as they said farewell (Said farewell) But I'll know where several are If my dreams get real bizarre 'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar (Jar, jar, jar...) I'd like to make myself believe That planet Earth turns slowly It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep 'Cause everything is never as it seems (When I fall asleep) I'd like to make myself believe That planet Earth turns slowly It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep Because my dreams are bursting at the seams
