Then I saw you
For the first time again
And you looked so happy
My love, did you forget
It’s not of your making
Nor of your design
The world could be well and good within
Small confines
It’s a matter of nature
A beam from where light breaks
Cast in resin with a flash
Pooling dark against your back
Oh my little firefly
Through the hairpin turns
Grasping thunder
Oh how could anyone fly
When the world falls away and there’s nowhere to alight
Now I’ve found you
You’re home, you can rest
All of the stars you crossed to me
I promise I’ll make it worth your breath
And what would you tell her
If you met
Please be kind my love
She hears everything you’ve ever said
Oh my little firefly
Through the spiralling ferns
Rings of Saturn
I know you can fly
I’ll hold up the world and on me you can alight
Oh my darling firefly
Lilting nocturne
Sunlit wonder
I know you can fly
I’ll hold up the world and on me you can alight
