By My Side Where the river flows when the water falls my love she's a firefly glow got me bounding off walls Under the city bridges a salve sweet as honey she pulls up my stitches and spends all my money And tonight she's sweeping rain the dark sky she ordains with a bat of her butterfly eye and she said she'll be by my side always What a kid glove girl got me believing again poking holes in my world so I can breathe again And today she's sweeping tears my darkest sky she clears with a grin of red ember light and she said she'll stay by my side always Oh how lucky can one guy be? she took a hold of me and shook out misery and oh how wonderful the way she lit up my life singing from my soul I know I'll stay by her side always When the river flows where the water falls my love's an autumn rose got myself caught in her paws And tonight she's sweeping rain my dark heart she tames with a bat of her firefly eye and she said she'll be by my side always right by my side tonight and always "What have I become? Truth is nothing yet" -Snow Patrol,'Chocolate' |

Well dang!! I love your song writing but this is truly one of your very best. Hope the music comes true and this is all about you and the firefly! Love it, lvoe it, love it! Makes me get all sentimental. |

I agree, your poem reads like a fun and playful love-song and, also, my favorite, and probably yours, I imagine, are when she bats her butterfly and/or firefly eye. Enjoyed! ![]() |

Much enjoyed reading this, my friend. Haven't read enough of you to know if it's my favorite of yours or not, but agree, otherwise, with all the comments. j. |
