Firebug

from Gorgeous Morning by Tanya Davis

/

about

down and out about art and touring, I squatted in a field and saw all the firebugs for one poignant and beautiful moment. Gratitude ensued.

lyrics

Firebug

did you lay your light on the grass, did you just lay down to rest
are you having a festival, i've never seen so many of you, such sweetness
firebug, lightning fly

i went walking down a tunnel dirt road
my friend swung on a tree swing, so high he rose
we climbed upon a woodpile
and imagined good photos

party people were drunk and stoned
it was a special evening so i was both
we were on our way home, i broke open on the road
some hope was saved 'cause you shone
firebug, lightning fly

you and the crickets, i watched and i listened
and i didn't want to go to bed, didn't want to go to bed
those summer visions put my heart back in it
and i hope i can remember this, hope i can remember it

so i made a vow in the field, your electric serenade
as eclectic beauty revealed in the grass and on the stage
i signed a new deal with the light of my life while behind sweet music played
and firefly would you be my guide if i ever stay
