Fireflies
John Grant
[Verse 1]
On a summer night, 1975
Maybe earlier, now I don't remember
She catches fireflies at the ice cream social
And oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
We watch them take flight
[Verse 2]
He is coming now with the rake on fire
He destroys the nest of the wasps up high
We are standing there with the fire in our eyes
And oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
We don't know what we're seeing
[Instrumental section]
[Verse 3]
In the cemetery, back beyond our house
There's a grave with pictures, one of him, one of her
I can smell the flowers, they died long ago
And oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
How I long for you
