Firefly
Who were you really?
Maddening mystery
Your absence fills the room
The minute our eyes met
You knew you had your audience
Now the curtain falls and it's dark as a tomb
Tough, fearless and girlish and vain
You could drink any man under the table
Not restless, not drawn to it, you were the flame
Could it seem anything other than fatal?
All there, not there, all seeing, all blind
I'm searching the dark or you're burning my eyes
Speaker of truth, shot through with lies
Flickering, flickering firefly
Not one for straight answers
You loved with such candor
Your eyes searched the words for the form
Feeling your meaning
Carving your dreaming
Your brush searched the calm for the storm
So hard to leave you there, so hard to go
Panic pinned you to the gurney
You said am I dying now? I said maybe? I don't know
But you have what you need for the journey
Feast and famine, outside of time
I'm sorry I'm mad that you left me behind
I still want to hear what you have on your mind
Flickering, gone dark, firefly
