Firefly
Do you want to hurt the way I'm hurtin
Deep these daggers in this heart of mine
The days long past since my shows final curtain
To scrounge a short piece of somethin
I have to wait in line
I drink to soothe the pain away
A Makers Mark to end my day
Again I dream a dream of you so very far away
What are you dreaming of
or do you lie awake at night
Firefly, you do the town
with all the crowds you gather round
The main spotlight on you so blinding
is it piece in your masterpiece you're finding
If the Heavens should part The Sea
and your light should fall on me
Would you share a cup of coffee
try a second look at me
Cut a better deal between us
than two for you and one for me
Would you turn your light down low
Or burn white hot to dim my glow
This is inside information
I would truly like to know
Would you stay a while longer,
before whisked off to your next show
Firefly, what happens now
Will you burst with pride be bold
When all the glitter isn't gold
Does it matter anyhow
Sing it loud do us proud
Key of G
6/8 time
drop some rhyme
Firefly
how you shine shine shine
