Firefly

A single perfect dewdrop falls The first pearl of the morning And as the air surrounding warms And darkness sails away Another fragile day She's there, observing silently A witness to creation She understands the irony This is her final scene A picture in a dream The way it's always been But it comes at a cost (but it comes at such a cost) If you're sensing something permanent (sense that something's lost) It's loss But a line (but a line has been crossed) Has been crossed An argument to which there's no riposte (to which there's no riposte) It's that singularity It's your own mortality (it's your own mortality) It's the punishment and prize It's the lights before your eyes (it's the lights before your eyes) Come alive (come alive, oh, firefly) Oh, firefly of mine Tomorrow is unreachable Tomorrow is invention Tomorrow is unteachable It's where the answers hide It's where we don't survive How precious is this time we've left? How priceless every moment? We must abandon hopeless quests This business, our forgiveness This notion of a token But it comes at a cost (but it comes at such a cost) If you're sensing something permanent (sense that something's lost) It's loss But a line (but a line has been crossed) Has been crossed An argument to which there's no riposte (to which there's no riposte) It's that singularity It's your own mortality (it's your own mortality) It's the punishment and prize It's the lights before your eyes (it's the lights before your eyes) Come alive (come alive, oh, firefly of mine) Oh, firefly of mine But it comes (but it comes at such a cost) At a cost If you're sensing something permanent (sense that something's lost) It's loss But a line (but a line has been crossed) Has been crossed An argument to which there's no riposte (to which there's no riposte) It's that singularity It's your own mortality (it's your own mortality) It's the punishment and prize It's the lights before your eyes (it's the lights before your eyes) Come alive (come alive, oh, firefly of mine) Oh, firefly of mine Do do do-do-do Do do do-do-do Do do do-do-do
