Artist/Band: Josh Ritter
Lyrics for Song: Song for the Fireflies
Lyrics for Album: Golden Age of Radio [2002]



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 re-started 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
